Marín Castán explained that Justice can not continue to function as it has been done "traditionally", in which each judge is "isolated" and each court has its own criteria.
"It requires active behavior, grouping resources by subject," added and gave as an example that of the the judges of the mercantile Court of Barcelona who have formed, by "own initiative", a court of instance in which all the criteria are unified and , so, he said, they are performing much better.
In this line, taking advantage of the presence of the Minister of Justice, Rafael Catalá, at the Summit, the Supreme Courty Magistrate requested to adapt the regulations to the present and, specifically, a reform of the civil Cassation Appeal so this Court can work more effectively.
Marín Castán also indicated that the majority of the subjects that occupy the civil justice "derive from a defective fulfillment of the law, as reality has changed dramatically from when majority of Laws were passed, and therefore, the role of Case Law is crucial.
