Overview
- The Bar posted its statement on November 3, warning that reopening firm rulings would create “generalized uncertainty” and undermine legality, due process, separation of powers, and legal certainty.
- The document, signed by BMA president Ana María Kudish Castelló, calls for preserving the principle of res judicata as a cornerstone of the justice system.
- Press reports say Chief Justice Hugo Aguilar initiated the consultation, which was turned over on October 10 to Justice Lenia Batres for review and a possible draft for the full court.
- El Economista reports the query followed efforts by the Attorney General’s Office and Rosa María Romero Urbán to challenge a June 11 First Chamber ruling that ordered the release of Juana Hilda González in the Wallace case.
- There is no public ruling from the court on revisiting final decisions, and the BMA’s intervention increases professional pressure for clarity.
