Mexico’s Supreme Court Takes Santa Fe Land Dispute, Will Issue Final Ruling

The case will determine control of contested Santa Fe parcels, with implications for federal recovery efforts.

Overview

  • The Supreme Court’s plenary voted 6–3 to exercise its power of attraction at the FGR’s request, moving the dispute to a final resolution.
  • The FGR argues the plots belong to the nation based on a 1907 government instrument, while developers invoke a 2018 desincorporation from federal patrimony.
  • On November 15, 2024, Judge Paloma Xiomara González González granted an amparo to several companies, blocking the FGR from taking possession of the properties.
  • The litigation traces to a November 28, 2020 anonymous complaint alleging irregular transfer of seven assets at km 14.5 of the MéxicoToluca road in Palo Alto, adjacent to the Parque Nacional de la Justicia.
  • If the Court confirms the 2024 ruling, the FGR would be barred from using the land; a contrary decision could enable federal control and shape ongoing recovery of at least 15 Santa Fe properties.
