The General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) has warned this July that it is "essential" to create a new judicial unit in the south of Gran Canaria within the framework of the 48 collegiate bodies and 373 individual bodies planned for 2024, of which 123 are priorities. The Permanent Commission has learned of a report prepared by the CGPJ Inspection Service that warns of the need to create a new unit in San Bartolomé de Tirajana by 2024 "in order for the judicial plant to be suitable and thus guarantee effectiveness of the protection of citizens' rights".
The report will be sent to the government chambers of the National Court and the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands so that they can make the observations they deem appropriate, as well as to the Ministry of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Courts, since "it is applicable by law the Government to promote the policy of creating new judicial units and territorial judge positions".
The report has been prepared taking into account the average workloads of all judicial bodies in 2022 and 2023 in accordance with the criteria established by the CGPJ, the average level of resolution and dependency per judicial district, the existence of reinforcement measures and the plant increase requests that have already been made. According to the document in question, the expansion of the judicial staff is "essential" in those judicial districts in which the indicator has been significantly exceeded - more than 130% - and it is understood that it is a priority in those in which the level of entry has exceeded 175% in 2023. The Canary Islands need a court of first instance in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Telde, Arona, San Cristóbal de la Laguna and Santa Cruz de Tenerife; a Social Court in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Santa Cruz de Tenerife; and a position as a magistrate for the Provincial Court of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
