La justicia y sus puñetas

Synopsis of La justicia y sus puñetas

«La justicia y sus puñetas» is the anthology of judicial absurdity by Quico Tomás-Valiente and Paco Pardo, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (384 pages, in Spanish).

Two veteran court reporters gather in this volume real rulings and cases that defy common sense within the Spanish justice system. The puñetas, the embroidered cuffs of the judicial gown, serve here as a symbol of rulings that stray from the straight path of the law. Among the examples are convictions overturned for harassment, demolitions of homes not considered a violation of domicile, and other decisions hard to explain, told with irony and a popularizing aim.

The work was published on March 11, 2015 and is part of the Obras diversas collection, in its first edition.

It is suitable for readers interested in law and the contradictions of judicial life, with a critical and accessible approach.
