General description |
This module aims to provide students with an overview of the different ways of resolving legal disputes that may arise in legal-business practice. Conflict resolution mechanisms can be classified into jurisdictional and extrajudicial. Regarding the former, an overview of the most specific civil processes of business activity will be offered, as well as the most notable work processes. Special emphasis will also be placed on resolving disputes outside the judiciary, what has been termed Alternative Means of Dispute Resolution, which are gaining momentum, as they are presented as efficient methods for resolving legal disputes, in the face of the endemic slowness of state justice. Finally, part of the teaching will deal with the resolution of business crisis through insolvency and para-insolvency mechanisms.
The aim is for students to acquire an overview of the subject that will allow them to access the most appropriate procedural or extra-procedural instruments according to the specific case, as well as a specific knowledge of the most common institutions in business activity. These objectives will be covered from the double theoretical/practical perspective, so that, firstly, the knowledge that students have already acquired in the Degree is strengthened and expanded, and secondly, they develop the necessary skills to apply the theoretical knowledge to the specific case, through the workshops and practices to be carried out. |
