Spanish Constitution, Article 9,3
3. La Constitución garantiza el principio de legalidad, la jerarquía normativa, la publicidad de las normas, la irretroactividad de las disposiciones sancionadoras no favorables o restrictivas de derechos individuales, la seguridad jurídica, la responsabilidad y la interdicción de la arbitrariedad de los poderes públicos.
seems to ban some sort of retroactivity ("irretroactividad") but it seems to me to talk only about punishment ("sancionadoras"), not about civil law. Am I right? (Google translation is useless here...).

Yes, you're right.

But the Spanish legislators are wary of burdening the courts with the cases that would result from retroactive measures.

The peak-to-trough part of the business cycle is an outlier. Carnot would have died laughing.
