Judicial staff to adapt mutual aid scheme by March, or face up to 15,000 euro fines

Royal Decree 397/2026 repeals RD 96/2019 and amends the judicial mutual aid regulation by adding Section 6 to Chapter V. Staff must update their mutual aid schemes within three months, otherwise fines of up to 15,000 euros will apply (Art. 5). This reform reorganises social protection for judicial staff in line with Law 40/2015.
