Changes in the federal courts of Tucumán and Mar del Plata are formalized
The Government published Laws 27,821 and 27,822 in the Official Gazette. The measures establish new chambers in both courts and create positions, subject to budget availability.
The national Government formalized changes in the Federal Courts of Appeals of Tucumán and Mar del Plata through Laws 27,821 and 27,822, published this Wednesday in the Official Gazette, according to Ámbito.
In the case of Tucumán, Law 27,821 establishes that the Federal Court of Appeals will be organized into two permanent chambers. According to Ámbito, a judge of the Court of Appeals position is also created, bringing the court’s total membership to six.
Until the new magistrate is appointed and can take office, each chamber will operate with two judges of the Court of Appeals and a shared presidency. That judge may intervene in either of the two chambers when necessary to form a majority in a judicial decision.
The measure maintains for both chambers the same subject-matter, territorial and functional jurisdiction already held by the Tucumán court. It also sets a 90-day deadline from enactment for the court to issue its rules of procedure and of substitutions in the event of leaves, vacancies, recusals and disqualifications.
In Mar del Plata, Law 27,822 creates a second chamber in the Federal Court of Appeals, identified as Chamber II. According to Ámbito, it will operate with three court secretariats and will add positions for judges, secretaries, officials and administrative and service staff, in accordance with the law’s annex.
The distribution of cases will continue to follow the current regulations and the decisions of the full court. The report adds that the Council of the Magistracy must submit the shortlists of candidates to the national Executive Branch through the Ministry of Justice, within the deadlines set by the regulations.
Both the launch of the new chamber in Mar del Plata and the incorporation of magistrates and staff in both cases will depend on the availability of budgetary credit.
