Spain

Stage of Implementation 

Implementation is underway. The Spanish Collective Actions Bill (Proyecto de Ley de acciones colectivas) was introduced in 2025. The Bill introduces a new area into Spanish Civil Procedure Law (Ley de Enjuiciamiento Civil) dedicated exclusively to collective actions, consisting of 58 articles organised into three chapters covering common provisions, specific provisions for cessation actions, and specific provisions for redress actions.

Extent to which existing law will require change

Significant change.

Whilst it was thought only minor change would be required, Spain has seized this opportunity to undertake a comprehensive reform of its collective redress system.
