On the 14th March 2020, the Spanish legislature published Royal Decree 463/2020 declaring a state of alarm throughout Spain as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the exceptional measures under the Fourth Additional Provision was the suspension of the time periods for the application of the statute of limitations and expiration of actions and rights.
This continues until 24 May unless the Spanish Parliament approves a further lockdown extension. At this date, the time limits will be revived for the equivalent time that was left to run prior to the 14th March. Where the time limit was due to expire after 24 May (or any later end to lockdownt) the majority view of legal experts is that it will be extended by the duration of the lockdown.
The Spanish Government is currently seeking to extend the lockdown for a further month.
