The Spanish National Court decides the case of Sabic Innovative against the tax administration (Appeal 367/2010) as fraud of law.

It is an artificial transaction with the sole aim to reduce taxation in Spain. The facts perfectly matched the legal figure of fraud delay (fraud of law, a concept similar to the abuse of law) included in the Spanish legislation.
