Overview
- By a 6–3 vote, the SCJN plenary declared the Presidency’s recurso de reclamación against the 2024 tie‑breaking vote in the electricity law case improcedente.
- Three justices—Loretta Ortiz, Yasmín Esquivel, and Chief Justice Hugo Aguilar Ortiz—favored declaring the challenge without object due to lack of practical effects.
- Hugo Aguilar argued the recurso was procedente because the 2024 voto de calidad violated procedural rules, but his project was rejected by the majority.
- Multiple ministers warned that admitting the challenge would enable attacks on final Court sentences, undermining the principle of cosa juzgada.
- The 2024 ruling at issue stemmed from Alberto Pérez Dayán’s tie‑breaking vote that granted amparo to six power companies, and it remains in force while broader questions about revisiting past decisions go unanswered.
