What one court considers a sufficient attempt at negotiation may give rise to an order to rectify in another. Likewise, certain ways of evidencing the attempt may be deemed sufficient in one judicial district and questioned in another.<\/p>\n<p>During these first months of application, this divergence has forced practitioners to act with particular caution, given the uncertainty as to how the competent court will assess a MASC that, in similar circumstances, has previously been accepted by another court.<\/p>\n<p>The result is <strong>legal uncertainty<\/strong> that may shift onto the procedural plane an issue that ought to be essentially substantive: whether there has been a genuine and provable attempt to resolve the dispute out of court.<\/p>\n<h3>The cost in time<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11082 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/businessman-marking-calendar-appointment-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Calendar showing the MASC pre-action period\" width=\"503\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/businessman-marking-calendar-appointment-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/businessman-marking-calendar-appointment-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/businessman-marking-calendar-appointment-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/businessman-marking-calendar-appointment-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/businessman-marking-calendar-appointment-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/businessman-marking-calendar-appointment-700x467.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The abundance of formalities is hardly efficient; the requirement to resort to a MASC beforehand is also having an impact in terms of time.<\/p>\n<p>Matters that, before April 2025, could go straight to court now include a preliminary stage that may add <strong>between thirty and ninety days<\/strong> to the start of proceedings, without there necessarily being, in every case, a real willingness to negotiate.<\/p>\n<p>The requirement is formally met, but the aim pursued by the legislation \u2014 avoiding litigation through agreement \u2014 is not always achieved.<\/p>\n<p>A study published in January 2026 found that <strong>90%<\/strong> of the practitioners surveyed considered that these requirements slowed proceedings down, while only 4.3% perceived greater speed.<\/p>\n<h3>The lack of official criteria<\/h3>\n<p>Added to this is the still limited availability of official data with which to assess the real impact of MASC on litigation levels and the length of proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>The same study indicated that only 4% of the lawyers surveyed perceived uniform criteria, compared with <strong>71%<\/strong> who considered their application to be highly inconsistent.<\/p>\n<p>The consequence is clear: the efficiency sought by the reform currently coexists with a landscape of procedural uncertainty.<\/p>\n<h2>What we can say with confidence<\/h2>\n<p>After a year in force, and despite all the problems mentioned, the application of the Law is producing a number of <strong>consistent criteria across several Provincial Courts of Appeal (Audiencias Provinciales)<\/strong> that correct the initial formalism.<\/p>\n<p>For example, on rectifiable defects: where no attempt at negotiation has been made at all, the defect may be <strong>incurable<\/strong>. However, where the attempt has taken place and the problem lies solely in how it is evidenced, courts have been allowing <strong>rectification under Article 231 of the Spanish Civil Procedure Act (LEC)<\/strong>, so that a formal defect does not lead directly to the claim being dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>A flexible interpretation as to the means used also appears to be taking hold. <strong>Burofax holds no monopoly<\/strong>: any means may be used that reliably evidences the identity of the parties, the content, the date and the receipt of the communication, including email or text messages.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11084 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/work-secretary-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Sending a burofax as part of a MASC\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/work-secretary-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/work-secretary-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/work-secretary-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/work-secretary-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/work-secretary-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/work-secretary-700x467.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Likewise, the recipient\u2019s failure to respond does not necessarily prevent the attempt from being deemed made, provided the communication was properly addressed.
