Abstract

In our Civil Code only custom and general principles of law are contemplated as sources of the Spanish legal system (art. 1.1.). However, the same Code, in its point 6, recognizes to jurisprudence the faculty to complement the legal system with the doctrine that is established, in a reiterated way, by the Supreme Court to interpret and apply the law, the custom and the general principles of law. This study addresses the role of the jurisprudence of our Highest Court in the conformation and complementation of the crime of insults during the period 1928-1978.
