Official heading (Spanish): CUMPLIMIENTO DE SENTENCIAS DE AMPARO. PARÁMETROS PARA DEFINIR LA FECHA HASTA LA CUAL SE DEBEN CALCULAR PRESTACIONES ECONÓMICAS PERIÓDICAS.
The ruling
Ruling on a queja concerning compliance with an amparo that ordered periodic benefit payments, the Collegiate Circuit Court held that the cut-off date for the calculation must be defined, and that holding one or more liquidation and update incidents must be justified. It set two parameters: payment of a significant amount, made within a short period.
Our take
This is the framework ruling of the series. It brings order to compliance with amparos involving periodic benefits, which tend to drag on through liquidation and update incidents. The court's approach is pragmatic: set a cut-off date based on a significant and timely payment, and justify each additional incident. It mainly affects public authorities and agencies ordered to pay pensions or salaries, but also companies in similar positions. Our reading: whoever pays fully and quickly controls the close; whoever delays payment funds the update of the amount.
What to do
- Prepare a compliance plan with a proposed cut-off date once the judgment becomes final.
- Justify to the judge the need for each additional update incident.
- Combine a substantial and timely payment to limit the number of incidents.
