Crisis Cabinet

Civil and Commercial Law

Why?

FIDE considers the leading role that civil society must assume in decision-making essential, and even more so, in a situation as exceptional as that caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

With this objective, the Crisis Cabinet in civil and commercial matters was launched, which after a first proposal consisting of the positivization of the “Rebus Sic Stantibus” clause, makes a second reflection available to those interested, aimed at promoting and streamline the second chance mechanism in Spain.

Proposal on the second chance mechanism

Published on June 18, 2020

The final proposal of this Crisis Cabinet of Fide is the result of the debates held during the last two weeks between the members of the group and the more than 200 professionals who attended the two sessions convened with the aim of suggesting, proposing and debating the opportunity and the material content of the positivization proposal of the clause "rebus sic stantibus".
