Editing Contingent fee (section)

===Spain===
On November 4, 2008, the [[Supreme Court of Spain]] annulled a prohibition originated from the General Council of Spanish Bar that forbade the use of contingency fees, known in Spain as ''cuota litis''. The rationale of the annulment was that the prohibition did not respect the principles of free competition. From that year onward, lawyers can pursue legal claims based on that type of retribution.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://elpais.com/diario/2008/12/16/economia/1229382010_850215.html|title=Los abogados podrán pleitear "a porcentaje"|newspaper=El País |date=15 December 2008 |publisher=ElPaís|last1=Lázaro |first1=Julio M. }}</ref>
