Baleares administrations: 3 months to remove COVID-19 non-compliance fines

The Constitutional Court has declared unconstitutional Article 4(c) of Decree-Law 11/2020, which imposed fines for failing to comply with COVID-19 health measures. Autonomous communities must repeal these fines within three months of the ruling taking effect, removing local authorities' power to impose such sanctions.

  1. The article 4 c) of Decree-Law 11/2020 is declared unconstitutional (análisis del art. 4 c) del Decreto-ley 11/2020)
  2. Communities must repeal the sanctions within three months (art. 4.1)

How it affects those involved

The administrations of the Balearic Islands must remove sanctions for non-compliance with COVID-19 health measures within three months. Citizens and businesses will not face new sanctions for these measures, but local authorities will lose a tool for enforcement. Legal advisors and human rights defenders must update their analyses of health sanctions in the context of a crisis.
