La conciliación notarial: efectos y trascendencia en el nuevo paradigma de justicia

Abstract

This work provides an in-depth analysis of the legal effects of notarial conciliation, both with and without agreement, within the framework of Organic Law 1/2025, of January 2, on measures to improve the efficiency of the Public Justice Service. Notarial conciliation is contextualized as part of the new “multi-door” justice paradigm and as a procedural requirement for access to the courts. The general effects, procedural implications of its occurrence or absence, and its influence on limitation and expiry of actions are detailed. Special attention is given to obtaining the notarial testimonial of procedural compliance and to the innovative consequences in terms of legal costs. Finally, the effects of conciliation agreements, their binding force, and the process of elevation to a public deed—conferring executive force—are examined. The goal is to offer a complete and practical perspective on the relevance of notarial conciliation in building a more efficient and consensus-based justice system.
