If you passed the internal promotion selection process to the Case Management and Administrative Body of the Administration of Justice in Catalonia, the list of available positions has just changed significantly. The Resolution of July 27, 2026 from the Department of Justice and Democratic Quality modifies the list of positions published on June 29, 2026 and incorporates more than 70 new vacancies distributed across the four Catalan provinces.
The change is not merely informational: it requires affected candidates to submit a new position request. The deadline is ten business days from publication (August 4, 2026) and the procedure must be carried out exclusively electronically.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution acts as a correction and expansion of the list of positions published on June 29, 2026. It introduces two specific modifications:
- Elimination of one position in Tarragona: it is withdrawn because it must first be subject to a transfer competition, a procedure that takes precedence over direct assignment in selection processes.
- Incorporation of more than 70 new vacancies distributed among the provinces of Barcelona, Girona, Lleida and Tarragona.
The original call that governs the entire process is the Order PJC/150/2024, of February 19, which regulates access by internal promotion and competitive examination system to the Case Management and Administrative Body of the Administration of Justice.
| Concept | Resolution of June 29, 2026 (previous) | Resolution of July 27, 2026 (current) |
|---|---|---|
| Position in Tarragona (transfer competition) | Included in the list | Eliminated |
| New vacancies in Barcelona, Girona, Lleida and Tarragona | Not included | More than 70 new positions incorporated |
| Obligation of new request | Not applicable | Yes: new electronic request within 10 business days |
Against this resolution, it is possible to file a motion for reconsideration within one month or administrative contentious appeal within two months, both counted from the publication date (August 4, 2026).
Economic and operational impact
For approved candidates, the impact is not economic in the strict sense, but rather one of professional opportunity and risk of exclusion from the process. The expansion of more than 70 positions is good news: it significantly increases the number of available positions and, with it, the chances of obtaining a position in a preferred location.
However, the operational risk is real and urgent: anyone who does not submit the new position request within 10 business days loses the right to choose a position. This can result in the assignment of a residual position or exclusion from the allocation process.
The procedure is exclusively electronic, which means having a valid digital certificate or electronic identification system before the deadline expires.
Who does it affect?
- Approved candidates in the internal promotion selection process to the Case Management and Administrative Body of the Administration of Justice, called by Order PJC/150/2024.
- Specifically, candidates who applied for positions in the territorial scope of Catalonia (Barcelona, Girona, Lleida and Tarragona).
- Active civil servants who participated in the internal promotion route and are pending position assignment.
- Candidates who had already submitted a position request with the previous list and must now submit a new request adapted to the updated list.
Practical example
Imagine you are a civil servant approved in the internal promotion process and in your original request (submitted after the resolution of June 29, 2026) you had indicated as your first choice a position in Tarragona — precisely the one that is now eliminated because it is subject to a prior transfer competition.
With the new resolution, that position no longer exists on the list. You have 10 business days from August 4, 2026 to submit a new position request electronically, reordering your preferences among the more than 70 new vacancies incorporated in Barcelona, Girona, Lleida and Tarragona, in addition to those already on the previous list.
If you do not submit the new request on time, the system may assign you a position by default among those available, without being able to exercise your right of choice. The loss of this right is irreversible once the deadline has passed.
What should those affected do now?
- Verify if you are affected: check if you participated in the internal promotion selection process to the Case Management Body in Catalonia (Order PJC/150/2024) and are pending position assignment.
- Consult the new list of positions: review the updated list published in the Resolution of July 27, 2026 to learn about all available vacancies in Barcelona, Girona, Lleida and Tarragona.
- Prepare your digital certificate: the procedure is exclusively electronic. Make sure your electronic identification system (DNIe, Cl@ve, FNMT certificate) is operational before the deadline expires.
- Submit the new position request on time: you have 10 business days from August 4, 2026. Do not wait until the last day: electronic systems may experience issues.
- Save the submission receipt: keep the electronic acknowledgment of receipt as proof that you met the deadline.
- If you disagree with the resolution: you can file a motion for reconsideration within one month or an administrative contentious appeal within two months from August 4, 2026.
Frequently asked questions
How many new positions have been added in Catalonia for Case Management?
The Resolution of July 27, 2026 incorporates more than 70 new vacancies distributed among the provinces of Barcelona, Girona, Lleida and Tarragona. At the same time, one position in Tarragona is eliminated because it must be subject to a prior transfer competition.
What is the deadline to submit the new position request?
Affected candidates have 10 business days from the publication of the resolution (August 4, 2026) to submit a new position request. The procedure must be carried out exclusively electronically.
What happens if I do not submit the position request within 10 business days?
Failure to meet the deadline may result in the loss of the right to choose a position. This means that the system could assign you a position by default among those available, without the possibility of exercising preference.
Why has the Tarragona position been eliminated?
The position in Tarragona is withdrawn from the list because it must first be subject to a transfer competition. This procedure takes precedence over assignment in selection processes, so it cannot be offered in this phase until said competition is resolved.
Can I appeal this resolution if I disagree?
Yes. Against the Resolution of July 27, 2026, it is possible to file a motion for reconsideration within one month or an administrative contentious appeal within two months, both counted from the publication date, August 4, 2026.
