Abstract

A bibliographical review of Professor Iván Vizcaíno Ramos’s monograph, which examines the possibility of relying, as conflicting precedents in cassation appeals for the unification of doctrine before the Fourth Chamber of the Spanish Supreme Court (Labour Law jurisdiction), on judgments delivered by bodies that do not form part of the Judicial Power.

The book analyses Article 219(2) of Act 36/2011, Regulating the Labour Jurisdiction, insofar as it allows parties to invoke, as contradictory doctrine, that established in the judgments handed down by the Constitutional Court and by the judicial bodies instituted under international treaties and agreements on human rights and fundamental freedoms ratified by Spain.

The study seeks to identify which international courts fall within this category and to determine in what manner their case-law – as well as that of the Constitutional Court – may be used as a basis for substantiating a cassation appeal.
