"While Spain appears to be below the European average for complaints filed for workplace harassment (8% compared with almost 15% in Europe1), the rulings handed down since 2001 in workplace harassment cases (psychological, sexual, discriminatory, etc.), and more specifically in mobbing cases, number in the thousands. As a result, the Spanish legal system, which does not have specific legislation against workplace psychological harassment except in a criminal context (Article 173 CC), nevertheless has significant experience in han-dling such behaviour. This Spanish legal system for workplace harassment, which has its roots in jurisprudence, has rarely failed to do its part, hence the continuing absence of specific labour law in this domain"
