Answer
Why do lawyers and editors criticize tax settlements without a court hearing in Mallorca-related cases?
A settlement can end a case legally, but it may also leave the public without a full record of the evidence, negotiations, or reasoning behind the outcome. That is why such cases often trigger debate about transparency, oversight, and whether financial power affects access to justice.
