The Government of the Canary Islands announces that it will file an appeal with the Supreme Court against the order of the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands (TSJC). This is the legal action that the regional government is already working on after being notified of the aforementioned order of the TSJC, in which only some of the measures adopted by the Governing Council last Thursday with the intention of controlling the COVID-19 pandemic in the Islands are ratified.
After an initial analysis of the order in question, the autonomous Executive interprets that the antiCOVID measures published this Friday in the BOC may continue to be in force, because the order is not final and therefore its content can be reviewed by the Supreme Court. If this were not the case, the Government would immediately adopt the decisions that would be appropriate in that case.
The Government of the Canary Islands hopes that the Supreme Court will adopt a common line after orders of a different nature in several autonomous communities. In some of them, measures similar to the Canary Islands, such as the curfew, were ratified.
The regional Executive values, however, that the TSJC order gives legal conformity to some measures, including those related to the limitation of the maximum number of non-cohabiting people.
