Overview
- Judge Fidel Torres granted the JNJ’s appeal on October 28 after determining it was filed within the Article 22 deadline of the Constitutional Procedure Code.
- He admitted the appeal without suspensive effect, so the precautionary order allowing Delia Espinoza to serve as Prosecutor General remains operative.
- The file was sent to the Third Constitutional Chamber of Lima, which must decide whether to take the case and, if it proceeds, schedule a virtual hearing in the coming days.
- On October 13 the court granted an innovative precautionary measure that reinstated Espinoza, while the JNJ maintained its suspension citing four disciplinary charges and arguing the injunction covered only one.
- The court confirmed proper notification to the JNJ of the earlier ruling and deemed Espinoza’s request to compel enforcement premature pending the appellate process.
