On August 19, 2024, employees of the Federal Judicial Branch (PJF) began an indefinite suspension of activities in response to the judicial reform initiative that, in their opinion, affects their labor rights and the fundamental rights of all Mexican nationals.
The National Association of Magistrates and District Judges of the Federal Judicial Branch (JUFED) agreed to suspend activities in all courts and tribunals belonging to the PJF as of August 21, 2024.
The Federal Judicial Council, in its Circular 16/2024 of August 19, 2024, established the urgent cases that will have to be addressed during the suspension (mostly criminal matters and precautionary measures).
By means of subsequent Circular 17/2024 of August 23, 2024, the Federal Judiciary Council determined that no deadlines and terms will run in the proceedings held before the federal jurisdictional courts as of August 19, 2024 and until further notice; the validity of the procedural acts that have been carried out since that date subsists and the attention to the urgent cases defined in Circular 16/2024 is reiterated.
As of Today, such suspension does not apply to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation or to the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judicial Branch.
