Overview
- The SCJN Plenary voted 6–3 to declare inadmissible the Presidency’s recurso de reclamación against the Second Chamber’s 2024 decision.
- The ruling leaves intact the amparos granted to private energy firms and does not alter the status of the already repealed Electricity Industry Law.
- Chief Justice Hugo Aguilar Ortiz had proposed admitting the challenge, arguing the tie-breaking vote violated Article 17 of the Judicial Power’s organic law.
- A majority noted the challenged judgments were executed, the law was abrogated, and the Court’s Chambers were dissolved, so revoking the vote would yield no practical outcome.
- Minister Lenia Batres referenced irregularities in the 2024 process yet cautioned that using reclamación to revisit final votes would undermine legal certainty.
