Spain - 

Spain Commentary

We analyze the measures introduced by Royal Decree-Law 11/2020, from every angle of business law: corporate/commercial contracts, tax, labor and employment, restructuring and insolvency, procedures and administrative law.

The April 1, 2020 edition of the Spanish Official State Gazette (BOE), published Royal Decree-Law 11/2020 of March 31, 2020, adopting urgent additional measures in the social and economic sphere to confront COVID-19 (RDL 11/2020), which also amends Royal Decree-Law 8/2020, of March 17, 2020, to correct and adjust a few issues that had raised doubts in that decree-law.

RDL 11/2020 comes into force on April 2, 2020 (the day after its publication date in the Official State Gazette), except for measures relating to the restriction on commercial communications of entities carrying on gambling activities, which come into force on April 3, 2020.
