The plaintiff signed a contract for legal services with the defendant. The contract included the following term: “if under any circumstance D. Anselmo [the defendant] would decide to terminate the contract, the fee will remain a 15% of his share of the inheritance”. According to this, when the defendant chose to terminate the contract, the plaintiff claimed the amount of 239.366 euros. The defendant filed a counterclaim in which she demanded to declare “unfair” and void the referred clause. On December 28th. 2006, the Court of First Instance ordered the defendant to pay 66.933 euros, but at the same time considered void part of the term. On May 28th. 2007 the Appeal Court increased the sum to pay up to 158.631 euros and confirmed the nullity of the term.
