Good faith and a requirement for admissibility/procedural standing in Organic Law 1/2025: concept and repercussions

Abstract

The inclusion of «Adequate Means of Dispute Resolution» (AMDR) under Organic Law 1/2025 of January 2, and, above all, its classification as a procedural prerequisite, turn the indefinite legal concept of «good faith» into a true interpretative keystone when—after the ADR stage has concluded—the dispute is finally resolved by judgment and legal costs are awarded. Good faith, like never before, establishes itself within the culture of settlement as a genuine point of both departure and closure for the proceedings and their extrajudicial phase.
