Note 55 — Chapter XI · THE AUDIENCIA AND THE CHURCH: THE ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION
Reading edition
“When a case may be tried indistinctly either by an ecclesiastical or lay judge it is said that the case is of the fuero mixto and then either of the two judges may take up the case, but the judge who begins it must be the last to try it” (Escriche, Diccionario, I, 832–833).
