Luis Clusellas, partner of Maluquer Advocats has published in Anuario de Justicia Alternativa (n. 11, 2011) of Tribunal Arbitral de Barcelona comments on judicial orders 151/2010 AP Barcelona, 28th September 2010 and 197/2010 AP Barcelona, 30th December 2010 about the equity arbitration and derivative actions. 

With these decisions, the Audiencia Provincial of Barcelona provides that the issue underlying a derivate action can be submitted to equity arbitration, even when the direct proceedings have been joined against the defendant's insurance company. Both decisions break new ground, not as to the arbitrability of such issues, but with regard to whether they may be subject to equity arbitration. No appeal was filed, so that both decisions are final.
