CGPJ Q2 Data Show Diverging Court Pressures: Galicia Trims Pending as Córdoba Backlog Swells

Fewer civil filings alongside rising penal workload reshape regional caseloads, with pending totals still high.

Overview

  • Galicia closed Q2 with fewer pending cases for the first time in three years, resolving 105,233 matters (+5% year over year) but still holding 218,671 in progress (+8% versus a year earlier).
  • Despite higher clearance in Galicia, congestion remains severe, with roughly twice as many cases pending as resolved and a 1.8% rise in the congestion rate, according to the CGPJ data.
  • Castilla y León registered 85,587 new cases (−4.7%), led by a 9.8% drop in civil filings as penal rose 1.3%; courts resolved 92,985 cases (+2.7%) while pending climbed to 178,603 (+10.2%).
  • Murcia recorded 69,047 entries (−1.3%) with penal up 4.2%; resolutions dipped 1.2% to 61,832 and pending grew to 220,431 (+14.7% year over year).
  • Córdoba ended the first half with 67,738 pending cases (+21.7% year over year), a load local reporting says would take more than two trimesters to clear if no new cases arrived, as pendency and congestion indicators worsened.
