Overview

• The TSJA's 2024 report confirms Andalusia's justice system is slow and inefficient, with a record backlog of 862,511 cases, up 13.8% from 2023.
• Case filings reached 1.43 million in 2024, a 5% increase, driven by rises in social (+16%) and civil (+8%) cases, while penal and contentious-administrative cases declined.
• Courts resolved 1.34 million cases in 2024, also a 5% increase, but the resolution rate of 0.93 indicates more cases were filed than resolved, exacerbating delays.
• TSJA President Lorenzo del Río has urged the creation of 142 new judicial positions, modernization of court infrastructure, and grouping judicial districts into collegiate courts.
• Gender violence courts will assume sexual violence cases in 2025, increasing their workload by 10–20% and necessitating additional staffing and resources.
