Spanish judicial rulings on labor and social security

Overview

Recent rulings by Spanish high courts have addressed various labor and social security disputes involving fraud, dismissal protocols, and emerging technologies.

In La Rioja, the High Court of Justice upheld a decision requiring a retiree to repay approximately €46,837 to Social Security after determining that his independent farming activities constituted a “blatant fraud” to conceal income. In Catalonia, the court upheld the dismissal of a long-term hotel employee for theft of minor items, citing a breach of trust despite the employee’s 30-year tenure.

In more recent developments, courts in Bilbao, Galicia, and Navarra have focused on the validity of employee terminations. A Bilbao court ruled a dismissal unfair after a company failed to prove that artificial intelligence had rendered an engineer’s position obsolete. Similarly, courts in Galicia and Navarra overturned dismissals involving a shipyard worker and a retail salesperson, respectively, citing a lack of proven harm or sufficient evidence regarding suspicions of theft.
