La sucesión intestada del conviviente homosexual: comentario a y desde la STSJ de Cataluña 9.3.2009

The judgment of the TSJ of Catalonia denies intestate inheritance rights to the surviving homosexual partner. There can be no argument about this ruling, as it simply applies the undisputed letter of the LUEP of 1998. Nevertheless, the later reforms introduced in the system have provoked readjustments in the force and application of that statute. Its foundation has been questioned, opening up two temporal phases in which it has been argued that the literal meaning of this statute provokes discriminations. This study reflects on the scope of these discriminations, on the possibility of a solution and on the justification of the reforms that are already made or are in process.
