Officials appointed in the Secretary-Intervention Sub-scale through the temporary employment stabilization process face a critical deadline: 9 business days from 15 October 2026 to appear before the Superior Court of Justice of Andalusia, Ceuta and Melilla, or be excluded from the proceeding that could directly affect their position.
The Resolution of 13 October 2026, from the General Technical Secretariat, publishes the summons derived from the administrative contentious proceeding 907/2025, filed by an official against Order TDF/766/2026. This order materialized the appointments of career officials in the Secretary-Intervention Sub-scale within the temporary employment stabilization process in local administration.
What does this regulation establish?
The General Technical Secretariat acts here as a procedural intermediary: it is obliged, in accordance with article 49 of the Administrative Contentious Jurisdiction Law (LJCA), to summon through publication in the BOE all interested parties in the proceeding so they can appear as a party in the process.
Proceeding 907/2025 was filed by an official who challenges Order TDF/766/2026. This order appointed career officials in the Secretary-Intervention Sub-scale as a result of the temporary employment stabilization process in local administration, a process that affected thousands of positions throughout Spain.
The summons published on 15 October 2026 opens a period of 9 business days for any person with legitimate interest in the outcome of the proceeding —especially those who obtained their appointment through said Order— to appear before the Administrative Contentious Chamber of Granada of the TSJ of Andalusia, Ceuta and Melilla.

Economic and operational impact
The impact is not economic in the strict sense, but it does have first-order patrimonial and professional consequences for those affected:
- Risk to the position: If the TSJ grants the proceeding and annuls Order TDF/766/2026 —wholly or partially—, the appointments made under that order could be voided. This would directly affect the career official status of those appointed.
- Loss of the right to defense: Whoever does not appear within the 9-day deadline cannot argue or present evidence in the proceeding, remaining bound by the judicial resolution without having been able to influence it.
- Legal representation costs: Appearing in an administrative contentious proceeding before a TSJ requires, in practice, the intervention of a lawyer and a court representative, which implies professional fees that each interested party must assume.
- Impact on local entity planning: Local corporations whose Secretary-Intervention positions were filled through this Order must be aware of the proceeding, as a potential annulment would affect the staffing of essential positions.
Who does it affect?
- Officials appointed under Order TDF/766/2026 in the Secretary-Intervention Sub-scale: they are the main interested parties, as their appointment is the subject of the proceeding.
- Other applicants or candidates who participated in the stabilization process and may have an interest in the outcome of the proceeding (for example, those who were not appointed).
- Local entities (municipalities, associations, etc.) whose Secretary-Intervention positions were filled under Order TDF/766/2026.
- Legal advisors and human resources managers of local administrations who must inform their officials about the proceeding and the deadline.
Practical example
Imagine you are a career official in the Secretary-Intervention Sub-scale of a municipality in Andalusia and your appointment was made through Order TDF/766/2026, within the temporary employment stabilization process.
On 15 October 2026, the summons is published in the BOE: a colleague has challenged that Order before the TSJ of Andalusia (proceeding 907/2025). You have 9 business days —until approximately 28 October 2026, not counting holidays— to appear in the proceeding through a lawyer and court representative.
If you do not act within that deadline, the process continues without you. If the TSJ ultimately annuls the Order, your appointment could be voided and you would lose the career official status obtained in that process, without having been able to defend your position. Appearing does not guarantee you will win, but it does ensure your voice is heard.
What should those affected do now?
- Verify if your appointment was made under Order TDF/766/2026: Check your appointment resolution or the documentation from the stabilization process in which you participated.
- Contact an Administrative Law specialist immediately: The 9 business days deadline from 15/10/2026 is very short. Do not wait: appearing requires preparing and submitting a brief to the TSJ of Andalusia in Granada.
- Appoint a court representative before the TSJ of Andalusia (Granada): In administrative contentious proceedings before Superior Courts of Justice, representation by a court representative is mandatory.
- Submit the appearance brief within the deadline: The brief must be submitted to the Administrative Contentious Chamber of Granada of the TSJ of Andalusia, Ceuta and Melilla, identifying proceeding 907/2025.
- If you are responsible for HR in a local entity: Inform the affected officials in your organization about this summons and the available deadline, and coordinate with the entity's legal service the possible institutional appearance.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if I do not appear within the 9 days of the summons?
If you do not appear within the 9 business days from 15 October 2026, you lose the opportunity to act as a party in proceeding 907/2025. This means you cannot argue, present evidence, or appeal the final resolution. You will be bound by the TSJ of Andalusia's judgment without having been able to defend your interests, which is especially serious if the court annuls Order TDF/766/2026 and with it your appointment.
Who is required to appear in proceeding 907/2025?
There is no legal obligation to appear, but there is a right that should be exercised. Those especially interested in doing so are the officials appointed under Order TDF/766/2026 in the Secretary-Intervention Sub-scale, as their position could be affected by the outcome of the proceeding. Other participants in the stabilization process with legitimate interest in the outcome may also appear.
What is Order TDF/766/2026 and why is it being challenged?
Order TDF/766/2026 is the regulation that formalized the appointments of career officials in the Secretary-Intervention Sub-scale within the temporary employment stabilization process in local administration. An official has challenged it before the TSJ of Andalusia, Ceuta and Melilla (proceeding 907/2025), which has prompted the summons published on 15 October 2026.
Before which court and in which city should I appear?
You must appear before the Administrative Contentious Chamber of Granada of the Superior Court of Justice of Andalusia, Ceuta and Melilla, identifying the proceeding as administrative contentious 907/2025. As it is a Superior Court of Justice, representation by a court representative and defense by a lawyer are mandatory.
What is the legal basis for the summons published in the BOE?
The summons is issued in accordance with article 49 of the Administrative Contentious Jurisdiction Law (LJCA), which requires the Administration to summon interested parties through official publication when the proceeding may affect their rights or legitimate interests. Non-compliance with this requirement by the Administration could generate lack of due process, hence its mandatory nature.
