Legal Challenge to Judicial Reforms in the Canary Islands

Background

The Canary Islands' Superior Court of Justice is currently handling a legal challenge against a government order issued in May 2025. The order outlines the new structure and design of judicial offices across the islands, aiming to boost efficiency in the justice system following recent legislative reforms.

Plaintiffs and Concerns

• The Sindicato de Trabajadores de la Administración de Justicia has initiated this legal process, questioning the new models and organizational changes established by the decree.

Impact

This development is significant for residents and court users because the restructuring could impact how justice services are delivered locally, potentially affecting:

• Court operation times
• Resource distribution

The court's decision could determine the future of judicial organization in the Canary Islands, ensuring reforms meet both efficiency goals and workers’ rights.

Stakeholder Participation

Stakeholders and interested parties now have nine days to formally participate in the case. This underscores the ongoing debate over judicial reforms that aim to modernize and streamline the justice system in the region.
