Overview
- The city’s Superior Court (TSJ) is drafting a precedent to standardize updates in dismissal awards across thousands of pending cases.
- Judges are weighing three formulas: IPC plus a 3% pure rate, the wage-based RIPTE, or a hybrid with a floor and ceiling around inflation.
- Court leaders aim for a strong, preferably unanimous ruling after consolidating appellate review over national cases through the Levinas decisions.
- The tribunal has already set RIPTE as the update index for workplace-accident indemnities, including retroactive application to pre-2019 cases.
- The national labor-reform bill reintroduces IPC+3% and bans interest on interest, creating potential overlap with the court’s forthcoming criteria.
