In August, the Chilean Supreme Court issued a series of particularly significant rulings, addressing matters as diverse as the CMF’s authority to impose sanctions, the invalidity of fraudulent invoices, the limits of arbitration, bank fraud under Law No. 20,009, and the evaluation of expert witness testimony submitted by a party.

In this month's Case Law Newsletter, we have compiled eight of these decisions—plus a selection of other notable rulings—and discussed their relevance to clients and legal teams.

Among the topics covered:

• The Limits of the Action for Protection Against a Recognized Right of Way.

• The boundaries between the CMF's oversight and administrative sanctions.

• The absolute invalidity of fraudulent invoices and their non-transferability by assignment.

• The scope and limits of the partition arbitrator’s jurisdiction once the award has been served.

• The Burden of Proof in Electronic Banking Fraud Under Law No. 20,009.

• The Weight Given to Evidence and the Formation of Consent in Construction Disputes.

• The unenforceability of acts by the head of state that exceed his or her powers.

• The probative value of expert reports commissioned by one of the parties.

• The Limits of the Action for Protection Against a Recognized Right of Way.
