Where your case is heard

The provincial Court of Appeal

The Provincial Court of Cantabria sits in four divisions with 14 judges, three of them specialised, all in the capital.

Companies and the commercial registry

Cantabria has its own commercial registry, the Registro Mercantil y de Bienes Muebles de Santander, at Castelar, 35. Incorporating, changing directors or winding up a company is filed there.

If your claim is against a bank

Cantabria has no court specialising in unfair mortgage terms: a claim over a floor clause or mortgage costs goes to the ordinary civil division that would hear any other civil case, and shares its list.

Before filing a dismissal claim

Before suing over a dismissal you must attempt conciliation, and in Cantabria that is done at the ORECLA, Organismo de Resolucion Extrajudicial de Conflictos Laborales de Cantabria, run by the Fundacion para las Relaciones Laborales de Cantabria (ORECLA), adscrita a la Consejeria de Empleo y Politicas Sociales del Gobierno de Cantabria y regida por una comision paritaria de CEOE-CEPYME Cantabria, UGT y CCOO. No es un SMAC dependiente de la Direccion General de Trabajo: el Gobierno de Cantabria remite al ORECLA la conciliacion previa individual. Demanda o papeleta de conciliacion ante el ORECLA dentro de los 20 dias habiles siguientes al despido (sin contar sabados, domingos ni festivos). Se presenta en el registro del ORECLA, C/ Pasaje de Pena 4, 3a planta (Santander), o por correo electronico a registro@orecla.com, registro operativo 24 horas. El ORECLA cita despues a las partes en un plazo muy breve para intentar el acuerdo por medio de mediadores
