The Constitutional Court annuls several precepts of Catalonia's Emergency Housing Law
The Constitutional Court has declared unconstitutional and null and void several precepts of Law 1/2022 of the Parliament of Catalonia, which amends Law 18/2007, Law 24/2015 and Law 4/2016, to address the housing emergency. The ruling, dated 8 October 2024, declared the following articles null and void:
- Article 1.3
- Paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 12 and Transitional Provision.
- Article 11 and Transitional Provision
- Article 7
It is important to emphasize the Judgment, for which Judge Maria Luisa Segoviano Astaburuaga was the rapporteur, with four dissenting votes, in which it is stressed, among other issues, that the compulsory transfer of housing requires adequate compensation, by virtue of the provisions of art. 33 EC.
The unconstitutionality and nullity of the precepts will take effect from the publication of the ruling, except in the case of the nullity of article 7, which, being of a sanctioning nature, will also affect sanctioning procedures that are in progress at the time of its publication.
