Overview

• The executive submitted a harmonization package to align the Ley de Amparo with the judicial reform, promising clearer deadlines and quicker resolutions.
• Officials argue the initiative curbs procedural abuse by limiting serial challenges that postpone the enforcement of fiscal credits without eliminating the right to defense.
• The draft expands the cases where temporary and definitive suspensions would not apply and requires judges to justify any suspension by weighing prima facie right against social interest.
• The proposal promotes a fully valid digital amparo, though critics say it still preserves dual paper and electronic case files that can slow proceedings.
• Opposition and business groups caution about potential political misuse affecting critics or concessionaires, and the Supreme Court’s president said he may send observations to the Senate citing concern over years-long cases.
