Abstract

One of the most remarkable novelties introduced by the Organic Law 1/2004, 28th of December 2004, which regulate the measures of integral protection against gender-based violence, is the incorporation of a new type of judicial bodies. These new created judicial branches are called «Courts of violence against women», and are appointed to resolve all the conflicts related to domestic violence, and accumulatively, several civil law suits with the purpose of providing violence victim women, an integral protection, on an exclusive and excluding basis. During the first years in which these judicial branches have been working, many matters involving the jurisdictional authority have appeared between these new type of courts and the civil judicial bodies, as the late ones traditionally had been resolved the civil issues that with the new law are being retrieved and removed from their jurisdiction. These matters have evidenced, in some cases, the insufficiency of legal resources of the present regulation to solve the jurisdictional controversies aroused. Besides, they have showed the clear necessity of a legal modification in order to put an end to the discussion and division among the legal doctrine and divergent jurisprudence created related to that topic. This paper allows a comprehensive approach of these conflictive cases and their possible solutions.
