The Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands has issued a new resolution in the proceedings for the execution of judgments brought by the Cabildo de Lanzarote to proceed with the demolition of the hotel structures existing in Costa Teguise that were built with illegal licenses granted by the former mayor of Teguise, Juan Pedro Hernández (Coalición Canaria), who was also criminally convicted for granting these licenses, reports the Cabildo de Lanzarote.

In this new resolution, which was notified last Thursday, May 18 to the parties, it is dictated in the execution process referring to the structure existing in plot 244-F and in it the Teguise City Council is required "to indicate to this Court within a period of one month the actions it has carried out for the subsidiary execution of the judgment of July 18, 2007 without further delay, reminding it of the time this procedure has been in execution by that City Council", he adds.

This new judicial requirement is part of the intense judicial activity that the Cabildo de Lanzarote has developed during this term under the presidency of María Dolores Corujo to guarantee the effective compliance with the judgments that put an end to the numerous urban planning irregularities committed by the City Councils of Teguise and Yaiza, it collects.

"15 years delaying the demolition"

"The actions in defense of legality and the general interest undertaken by this Cabildo have ended the neglect of the Teguise City Council, which has been forced to initiate the procedures to demolish the shameful structures that so disfigure Costa Teguise, forced by the Court", concludes the Cabildo.
