Catalan local government: 3 months to assess changes to Law 7/1985's additional provision 18

The Constitutional Court examines a challenge to the amendment of Article 18 of Law 7/1985, made by Royal Decree-Law 15/2025's third final provision, focusing on its constitutional validity, not on administrative implementation.

In 2 key points

  1. The Constitutional Court is assessing the constitutionality of the amendment to Article 18 of Law 7/1985 (recurso de inconstitucionalidad n.º 1586-2026)
  2. The amendment is introduced by the third provision of Royal Decree-Law 15/2025 (disposición final tercera del Real Decreto-ley 15/2025)

How it affects those involved

Public officials in Catalonia must follow the constitutional review process initiated by this appeal. Local administrations may see their decisions on public functions affected if the Court considers the amendment to be unconstitutional. Public law advisors should closely monitor the ruling to adjust their recommendations. The Catalan public sector faces uncertainty until the constitutionality of the amendment is determined.
