Constitutional justice and the principle of equality: A review of the latest constitutional case-law (2017-2021) .

Abstract

During the course of the last years, Article 14 of the Spanish Constitution has shown a remarkable unremitting vitality. It tireless continuous to reinforce equality as a supreme value for the Spanish legal system thus, favoring the incessant renovation of its institutions. Reviewing the most recent constitutional jurisprudence, it is remarkable the extent of its scope taking into consideration the requirements that its double track (equal treatment and no discrimination) comprise. The non-discrimination principle, under its different modes, is subject to special attention within this paper, in particular, it analyzes in the various spheres in which it projects its virtuality (collectively, education, labor relations and social rights), the implementation of outlawed
explicit and implicit differentiation criteria – in particular, the use of sex and the other forms of discrimination of women (specially in its close entailment with maternity).
