Government and former judges negotiate severance payments

The Government and the legal representatives of 27 former judges of the former Supreme Court of Justice (CSJ for its Spanish acronym) entered into a negotiation process for the second payment of compensation ordered by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (Inter-American), byhaving been illegally dismissed from office in 2004.

With this payment, which would materialize in state bonds, the second year of term of the State would start running, through the Attorney General´s office to file repetition lawsuits (devolution of resources) that are listed in the Constitution, when rights have been violated.

However, spokesmen of the former judges said they entered in the negotiation process to determine that the past two dividends are paid in one installment, to close the debt and pave the way for filing repetition lawsuits.
