Peru's Constitutional Court Halts Orders to Reinstate Delia Espinoza

The suspension, granted at the JNJ's request, bars new judicial rulings that could encroach on the council's disciplinary powers pending a final decision.

Overview

  • The TC granted a precautionary measure in case No. 00006-2025-PCC/TC that freezes amparo rulings ordering Espinoza’s reinstatement and instructs the judiciary not to issue new decisions that could compromise the JNJ’s remit.
  • The decision will remain in force until the court issues a final ruling on the competence dispute between the JNJ and the judiciary.
  • Magistrates voted 4–3 to approve the suspension, with Luz Pacheco, Francisco Morales, César Ochoa, and Pedro Hernández in the majority.
  • The court cited a serious and imminent risk to the JNJ’s constitutional authority, pointing to a two‑day reinstatement mandate from a Lima constitutional court.
  • The TC also paused a separate case seeking to nullify the selection of JNJ members, while Congress’s 10‑year disqualification of Espinoza remains in effect.
