Air Force jet crashes
about €3 million for damages from the hospitals where they were swapped.
The announcement about the claims was made by their lawyer José Sáez Morga, who is also handling the case related to one of the girls exchanged in 2002 at the Logroño Hospital.
The case was started after the girl made the discovery about herself in 2021.
The lawyer said that “The claim of €3 million is the maximum established by the Law of Consumers and Users for damages that are considered irreparable”.
The man from Guadalajara is claiming €2.9 million, while the man from Barcelona is demanding €3 million.
Sáez Morga also said “Last April the courts ordered the insurance company to pay compensation of €850,000 to the young woman who had been switched at birth.”
However, so far she has only received €215,000 as compensation.
A SPANISH Air Force F18 fighter jet aircraft crashed at the Zaragoza airbase on Saturday, May 20.
Thankfully, the pilot managed to eject before the plane hit the ground.
As reported by the Air Force, the jet was participating in an aerial exhibition when the incident occurred just after midday.
The plane came down on one of the runways at the airbase in the Aragonese capital.
The pilot was immediately rushed to the Miguel Servet Hospital in Zaragoza. He was said to have suffered trauma and injuries to his legs, hips and arms on impact.
According to a news outlet, the pilot was a veteran captain with more than 1,000 flight hours experience.
At the time of the crash, he was conducting aerial manoeuvres in preparation for an exhibi tion that will be staged during an event at the facility in Garrapinillos on June 10.
The F 18 Hornet was completely destroyed after exploding on impact with the ground.
New rules for holiday lettings
SPAIN’S holiday letting market faces new rules according to information compiled by Spence Clarke & Co.
Whilst there is a continued boom in new builds of all sorts, particularly in popular tourist destinations as well as a glut of abandoned builds handled by ‘bad bank’ Sareb, there never seems to be enough reasonably priced social housing.
A bit like Jekyll and Hyde the current Spanish government welcomes tourists many of whom want holiday lets whilst at the same time is making it more difficult for small home owners to let their properties out.
There are some new requirements to report information to the Spanish government for property owners renting on a holiday basis further to the Spanish Real Decreto 933/2021, of October 26 and in theory these changes are effective from June 2023.
This Royal Decree requires digital platforms and hosts to provide additional information about the reservations (hosts, guests personal details, property details, accommodations, etc.) to the Spanish national authorities (Ministry of the Interior).
This needs to be reported within 24 hours from the booking and the information must be reported on the following website: https://sede.mir.gob.es/op encms/export/sites/default/e s/procedimientos y servi cios/hospedajesyalquilerdevehiculos/
So far it is only possible to complete this with a Spanish digital certificate (DC) and you have to apply for it in person at an appropriate Government Office, although agents such as Spence Clarke may well be able to assist if you are out of Spain. When complying with this requirement you need to have previously alert ed guests to the fact that you are transferring their information to the government in order to observe Data Protection requirements.
It appears that the Spanish government has indicated that it will provide the option of reporting the data without using this online procedure, although the details about this have not yet been released.
Incorrect reporting of guest information can attract a fine of between €100 and €600 whilst failing to appear on the registry is a serious offence and can be punished by a fine of up to €30,000.
