The Supreme Court confirms that judicial claim deadlines do not run in August.
The High Court rules that August is an unsuitable month to notify a decision that can be appealed before the courts and that the two-month deadline to do so must start on September 1.
Spain's Supreme Court has ruled that August is an invalid month for notifying court decisions, and that the two-month deadline for appealing such decisions must start on September 1. The court's decision settles a legal debate on calculating appeal deadlines, and establishes that August cannot be counted towards time limits for filing claims in court.
The case involved an autonomous worker who received a notification from the General Treasury of the Social Security on August 4 and appealed on October 13, more than two months later. The Supreme Court has now ruled in favor of the worker, stating that the two-month deadline starts on September 1, except in cases involving fundamental rights.
