CGPJ renews almost 40 service commissions in the Supreme Court due to the impossibility of making appointments with the mandate expired

MADRID, 21 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Permanent Commission of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) has agreed this Wednesday to renew the appointments on secondment of 38 judges and magistrates, lawyers from the Administration of Justice and jurists to perform functions as coordinating lawyers and lawyers of the Technical Office of the Court Supreme Court throughout the year 2023 due to the blockade situation that its renewal is experiencing that prevents it from making appointments in the judicial leadership.

This agreement has been approved after it was requested by the Governing Chamber of the Supreme Court which, in view of the expiration of the service commissions on December 31, asked the CGPJ to renew it for one more year, that is, between 1 January and December 31, 2023.

The decision of the Permanent Commission has the favorable reports of the Inspection Service of the governing body of the judges and the Ministry of Justice, regarding the latter to the authorization of the necessary economic item.

It should be remembered that this reinforcing measure was carried out after the reform of the Organic Law of the Judiciary (LOPJ) which, urged by PSOE and Podemos, prevents this body from making appointments to the judicial leadership while it is in office. The Supreme Court requested this support in February with the aim of coping with the increased workload.

The approved service commissions will serve to cover 15 positions in the Civil area of ​​the Technical Office of the Supreme Court (five of them for coordinating lawyers); 9 from the Contentious-Administrative area (four of them coordinating lawyers); 7 from the Social area (two of them coordinating lawyers); 1 coordinating lawyer in the Military area and Special Chambers; and 6 legal positions in the criminal area.

It was in November 2022 when the Permanent Commission commissioned the Technical Office of the Supreme Court (TS) to issue a report on the "impact" that "the legal impossibility" of making appointments has on "each of the chambers" of the High Court discretionary And in October 2021, the Governing Chamber of the Supreme Court approved a report from the Technical Cabinet warning that failure to fill the current vacancies in the High Court would imply that 1,000 fewer sentences would be carried out per year.

The document reviewed the impact of the impossibility of filling vacancies in each of the five courtrooms. Except in the Criminal Chamber - which was not affected by the lack of filling vacancies in the immediate future - in the rest of the chambers the situation was defined as very worrying as the vacancies were not filled urgently.
