One case of The Criminal Chamber related to criminal services.
Supreme Court · Second Chamber (Penal) · 2017
ECLI:ES:TS:2017:1781 · Date of resolution: 10/05/2017
What the Supreme Court considered and decided
The Supreme Court set aside a new calculation that reduced previously recognised sentence remissions and delayed release. It ordered a further calculation respecting the days fixed by an earlier final decision.
What this helps explain
The old sentence remissions are in keeping with a historical regime; the interest of the case lies in the intangibility of firm enforcement decisions.
