Catalan local administration: 3 months to assess the amendment to additional provision 18 of Law 7/1985

The Constitutional Court is reviewing the unconstitutionality appeal filed against additional provision 18 of Law 7/1985, as amended by the third final provision of Royal Decree-Law 15/2025. This change affects the regulation of the civil service within local entities, particularly in Catalonia. The appeal focuses on the constitutionality of the amendment itself, rather than the direct application of administrative rules.

In 2 key points

  1. The Constitutional Court is analysing the constitutionality of the amendment to additional provision 18 of Law 7/1985 (recurso de inconstitucionalidad n.º 1586-2026)
  2. The amendment was introduced by the third final 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 assessment process initiated by this appeal. Local authorities could see their decisions regarding civil service matters affected if the Court deems the amendment unconstitutional. Public law advisors should monitor the ruling to adjust their recommendations. The Catalan public sector faces uncertainty until the constitutionality is determined.
