Contractual termination by mutual abandonment not claimed by any party?
The risks of applying the doctrine according to which a contract is deemed withdrawn from if neither party to the same appears to want it. Not only is this solution likely to be inconsistent with the parties' claims, but it also wrongly rules out other civil law options the parties could pursue upon dismissal of the action for declaration of termination.

Key points on ‘reasonable adjustments’ due to worker incapacity
The declaration of the worker's incapacity does not automatically terminate the contract, unless the worker expresses his or her wish not to continue working. But permanent absolute incapacity and severe incapacity are incompatible with work. For the rest, the worker has (an extinguishment?) period of ten days to decide and the employer has (an extinguishment?) period of thirty days to decide. Companies with less than 25 employees can assess when the obligation is an excessive burden, but the rest is left to numerous factors, not always objectively measurable. The company must provide a suitable offer without knowing what this suitability depends on.

The Court of Justice upholds the annulment of the European Commission's third decision on the scheme for the tax amortisation of financial goodwill
La Sentencia del Tribunal de Justicia de 26 de junio del 2025 declara que las dos primeras decisiones de la Comisión Europea sobre la incompatibilidad con las normas sobre ayudas estatales del régimen de amortización fiscal del fondo de comercio financiero generaron confianza legítima sobre el alcance y límites de la obligación de recuperación, incluyendo dentro de su alcance las adquisiciones directas e indirectas de participaciones en empresas extranjeras. Por tanto, no cabe la recuperación retroactiva de las ayudas relacionadas con adquisiciones indirectas cubiertas por las dos primeras decisiones, por lo que debe procederse a su devolución junto con los intereses de demora.

Offsetting employment claims: can a company offset them unilaterally?
If a collective action is brought to challenge the unilateral conduct of a company in the offsetting of salary claims through a payroll deduction, the amount of the debt and the existence of quantitative discrepancies must necessarily be questioned in order to be able to assess whether or not there is legal offsetting on the part of the employer. Only by admitting that the debt is a liquidated amount that is due and payable will the employer - or the employee, as the case may be - be able to offset the debt, but if the debt is not disputed, the way is open for the offsetting of wage claims.
