National High Court: modification of reporting shifts and case allocation in the Administrative Litigation Chamber

A new distribution of reporting shifts and case allocation among the magistrates of the Administrative Litigation Chamber of the National High Court has been approved, adapting to its new sectional composition (Agreement of the Governing Chamber of the National High Court of 23 February 2026). Allocation is carried out through a system of numerical endings assigned to each magistrate by section. Furthermore, mechanisms are established to correct imbalances in pending caseloads and to cover vacancies due to illness or similar circumstances (II. Other criteria).

In 3 key points

  1. Allocation is assigned to each magistrate in the section according to the numerical ending of the appeal number (I. Allocation by numerical endings). (I)
  2. Temporary allocation of cases among magistrates is permitted to balance pending caseloads and ruling times (II. Other criteria, rule 2). (II. Otros criterios. 2)
  3. In the event of a vacancy or illness, the case shall be assumed by the remaining magistrates on a rotational basis (II. Other criteria, rule 1). (II. Otros criterios. 1)

How it affects those involved

For litigants in administrative litigation before the National High Court, this change determines which magistrate will be responsible for reporting on their appeals based on the numerical ending of the appeal number (I. Allocation by numerical endings). The rule introduces flexibility criteria to prevent delays caused by vacancies or caseload disparities, allowing for the temporary allocation of cases among magistrates within the same section to balance voting and ruling times (II. Other criteria).
