Spanish term

juicio universal

Spanish to English Law/Patents Real Estate History of the Spanish Property Register
Hi All,

Would really appreciate any help with the above term in the following context. I've seen that it has previously been translated as bankruptcy proceedings, but I don't think that fits in this case?

Many thanks in advance,

Darren


Históricamente, los mecanismos tradicionales de seguridad se quedaron obsoletos durante el siglo XIX, ya que el mercado no era eficaz si permitía la celebración de un juicio universal por cada transacción o compraventa, ni tampoco podía esperar el cumplimiento de los plazos de usucapión.

AllegroTrans Dec 31, 2022:
What this seems to be saying is that up to some point in the 19th century some form of legal proceedings (juicio universal) had to take place with every transaction of land. I agree that bankruptcy proceedings is not appropriate.

Darren I assume this is from a Wikipedia article on land registration? https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registro_de_la_propiedad

Proposed translations

(Land Reg.) general adjudication effective erga omnes; (probate/bankruptcy) class action

Bankruptcy proceedings is setting the scene, rather than a translation that clearly goes a different way for UK land registration or US real estate recordation (*public record*) purposes.

In AT's discussion-entry wiki ref.:

'En este artículo se detectaron varios problemas. Por favor, edítalo para mejorarlo: Necesita *referencias adicionales* para su verificación. Podría ser *difícil de entender* para lectores interesados en el tema.'

....si permitía la celebración de un juicio universal por cada transacción o compraventa : if it permitted the conducting /holding of a general ('wholesale or bulk') adjudication process effective erga omnes for each transaction or conveyance on sale (so as a judgment in rem or 'against the whole world' vs. in personam, as between the specific parties to the transaction).

juicio universal : 'proceedings involving a person's entire estate (in bankruptcy or probate matters)', West.

A judgment in rem is an adjudication, pronounced upon the status of some particular subject-matter, by a tribunal having competent authority for that purpose.

agree Wilsonn Perez Reyes : This has to do with bankruptcy. Period.

legal proceedings

I cannot see how every land transaction could have involved bankruptcy

My gut feeling tells me that this was akin to the situation in late medieval England whereby a fictitous "trial" was held to determine whether the seller really owned the land, followed by a "judgment" under the terms of which the buyer became the legal owner
