Before and after Parot Doctrine: Combination of sentences and its consequences

Abstract

The following pages go over some historical events that led to the development of "Parot Doctrine" and then analyze the rationale of the Spanish jurisprudence in order to create that Doctrine, along with judicial positions in Spain that already were contrary to its application and the Grand Chamber judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in the Del Río Prada case. Spanish Law about combination of sentences is also analyzed, as well as the practice of the courts which constitutes a glaring example of judicial law making against legislation in force.
