The Superior Court of Justice of Madrid has ruled on the appeal filed by the Montencinar Property Owners Association against the parceling project. The sentence, which can be appealed to the Supreme Court, signifies a slowdown in the process initiated by the City Council of El Escorial to advance the urbanization project. The local administration believes there are valid grounds of objective casational interest to exercise the right to appeal the aforementioned ruling.
The TSJM issued Sentence 943/2026 following the Association's Appeal against a previous ruling on February 24, 2025, which favored the Council's position and allowed the urbanization project's processing to begin. Previously, six appeals against the parceling project had been dismissed in the first instance, to which two more sentences in appeal before the Superior Court of Justice are added, totaling eight favorable rulings for the City Council of El Escorial.
This decision directly affects the ongoing tender process for the drafting of the urbanization project, which is currently in the offer evaluation phase. The legal proceedings once again cause a delay in the project until the sentence becomes final, ensuring the greatest possible legal certainty.
The City Council of El Escorial has informed that the delay in providing essential urban services for this area is solely due to the high level of litigation. With the confidence that the casational interest will be admitted in defense of all residents, an appeal will be filed in the coming dates, and work will continue to improve the conditions of this area.
