SPAIN: Risks related to the distribution agreement

Mr. Piero Viganego
To begin with, it was appropriate to point out that the contract didistribuzione in Spain is not the subject of an express regolamentazionelegislativa. As a result, lagiurisprudenza was to define the various aspects that relate to this contract dicarattere commercial e fra questi aspetti, uno dei più elaborati per iTribunali spagnoli è stato il patto di esclusiva.

Negli ultimi tempi abbiamo notato che molte aziende italiane tendono aconcedere la esclusività a favore del distributore a mezzo di semplici fax, esenza imporre delle condizione specifiche. A nostro avviso questa prassiattuale è molto pericolosa, poichè i Tribunali spagnoli stanno riconoscendo inmolti casi l’esistenza di un’indennità in favore del distributore quando ilfornitore recede dal contratto unilateralmente e si tratta di una distribuzione in esclusiva per una concreta zona.


It should be noted that the majority of contracts with Italian companies chestipulano English distributors are verbal, they are considered eallora indefinitely. In these cases, lagiurisprudenza recognizes that each of the parties may withdraw from contrattosenza that that necessarily entails termination indemnity favoredel distributor. Nevertheless, considering that the distributor has dirittoall'indennità in the case of default, when this was expected nelcontratto, and if the withdrawal by the supplier is abusive oarbitrario.

In these cases, the courts are ilfabbricante condemned to pay compensation when the dealer shows that haprocurato new customers and that the manufacturer will take advantage of the substantial activity vantaggiderivanti nateriore Agent. That is, it would be legal dellafigura obtained by unjust enrichment. Convienefare attention to the fact that, before this can ottenereun'indennità, the current attitude of retailers is starting to pay bills when they realize that something nonva well, "that is, when seen near the withdrawal. So, consider that the amount of unpaid invoices stannocompensando al fabbricante con l’indennità aloro dovuta, teoricamente.
