Overview
- The court found Audasa engaged in an abusive practice on the AP-9 during the Rande Bridge expansion in Vigo by charging full fares despite impaired circulation.
- The judgment orders Audasa to reimburse users for charges levied on 81 days when the DGT documented significant traffic disturbances.
- The works at issue spanned February 2015 to June 2018, with about 200 traffic jams recorded, including 81 of more than 90 minutes.
- The decision shifts prior doctrine that had allowed full tolls during roadworks and now creates binding jurisprudence for similar cases.
- Following the ruling, a consumer group in Asturias requested refunds from Aucalsa for periods of works on the AP-66 (Huerna).
