Resolution 530/2025 cites unmet technical and infrastructure requirements for a one-time non-extendable postponement.

Overview

  • The Justice Ministry moved the start date in Buenos Aires from August 11 to November 10, 2025 under Resolution 530/2025.
  • A Procuración General de la Nación report found that minimum technical, operational and building infrastructure standards were not yet in place.
  • Officials described the delay as an exceptional, non-extendable measure designed to prevent institutional conflicts and bolster preparatory efforts.
  • New implementation dates are set for the Federal Appellate Court of Posadas on March 16, 2026 and for La Plata on May 18, 2026.
  • The reform shifts case investigations from judges to prosecutors and aims to accelerate proceedings through oral hearings with limited written filings.
