Overview
- The 15‑day countdown is on hold Friday, the Andalusian High Court said, while the judge hears arguments from victims' lawyers and the public prosecutor.
- A new resolution replaced a Wednesday order that told all 142 private accusers to choose one lawyer and one court agent to streamline the case.
- The earlier order warned that if no agreement was reached, the court would impose a single team under the first party that entered the case.
- Victims' lawyers voiced indignation and said they would file appeals within the three‑day window, arguing the plan limits clients' choice of counsel.
- Legal sources say the final setup could group victims differently, and the judge is weighing options in a case born of the January 18 crash that killed 46 and injured more than 100.
