The Catalonian Parliament approves the same measure it passed in 2019 but abrogated by failing to ratify it in time.

On 21 May 2019, the Catalonian legislature passed Decree 9/2019 to modify certain articles of the Catalonian Civil Code to allow pledges to secure multiple obligations, as we previously highlighted. However, the Parliament voted against the decree’s ratification on 26 June 2019, effectively abrogating it (as previously discussed). On 30 April, law 5/2020 was published in the Catalonian Public Gazette and the prohibition against creating successive pledges was finally removed.
