| Cessation of interim officials | Interim officials occupying the assigned positions will cease on the day the permanent official takes possession |
Economic and operational impact
Although this resolution does not imply direct salary changes, its operational impact is significant for several parties:
- For permanent officials: Taking possession of the new position may involve changes of residence, relocation expenses, and adaptation to a new judicial office. The 2-year restriction on participating in transfer competitions limits voluntary mobility until August 2028.
- For interim officials: Cessation is automatic and immediate when the permanent official takes possession. There is no additional notice beyond what the resolution itself establishes. This affects their job continuity and the planning of the receiving judicial offices.
- For Andalusian judicial offices: The incorporation of new permanent officials means a reorganization of teams, especially in those offices where interim officials have been covering positions for longer periods.
- For those belonging to multiple bodies: The decision to continue in the Court Proceedings Management Body or Judicial Assistance Body implies moving to voluntary leave in Court Proceedings Processing, which has consequences for seniority, rights, and possibilities for future reinstatement.
Who does it affect?
- Officials of the Court Proceedings and Administrative Processing Body who passed the competitive examination-opposition process called by Order PJC/150/2024 and have been assigned to an Andalusian judicial office.
- Officials who simultaneously belong to the Court Proceedings Management Body or the Judicial Assistance Body and must decide which body they continue in active service.
- Interim officials currently occupying the positions assigned to the new permanent officials: their cessation will occur when the permanent official takes possession.
- Territorial Delegations of Justice in Andalusia, before which the taking of possession is processed and which must manage the cessation of interim officials and the incorporation of permanent officials.
- Andalusian judicial offices receiving the new officials, which must plan the transition.
Practical example
Imagine an official who has passed the competitive examination-opposition process of Order PJC/150/2024 and has been assigned to a judicial office in Seville. Currently, they also belong to the Judicial Assistance Body, where they have been in active service for several years.
This official has until the last business day of the 20-day period from September 1, 2026 to make a decision:
- Option A: Takes possession of their new position in Court Proceedings Processing before the Territorial Delegation of Justice in Seville. From that moment on, they are bound to that position for at least 2 years without being able to request a transfer.
- Option B: Communicates within the same period that they choose to continue in active service in the Judicial Assistance Body. In that case, they move to a situation of voluntary leave in the Court Proceedings Processing Body and do not occupy the assigned position.
In parallel, the interim official currently covering that position in Seville will automatically cease on the day the permanent official (if they choose Option A) takes possession, without any additional procedure being necessary on the part of the interim official.
What should those affected do now?
- Identify your exact situation: Check if you have been included in the position assignment resolution and what position has been assigned to you. The resolution was published in the BOE on August 10, 2026.
- Calculate your deadline: The count of 20 business days begins on September 1, 2026. Identify the exact deadline by counting business days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays).
- Decide if you belong to another body: If you also are part of the Court Proceedings Management Body or the Judicial Assistance Body, you must decide which body you continue in active service and communicate it within the same period of 20 business days.
- Process the taking of possession: Present yourself before the Territorial Delegation of Justice corresponding to your assigned position to formalize the taking of possession within the deadline.
- If you are an interim official: Prepare for cessation when the permanent official takes possession. Consult with your Territorial Delegation the expected date of incorporation of the permanent official to plan your situation.
- Keep in mind the transfer restriction: Once you take possession, you will not be able to participate in transfer competitions until August 10, 2028. Plan your personal and professional situation accordingly.
