Overview
- The Supreme Court rejected the city’s appeal, leaving in place the TSJM ruling that said the low-emission rules rested on weak economic and environmental studies.
- Vice Mayor Inma Sanz said there will be no blanket refunds because court annulments do not apply retroactively under established case law.
- The city’s legal service is weighing whether to process tickets issued after the TSJM judgment under the old ordinance, a review that covers the Centro and Plaza Elíptica zones.
- Vox’s Javier Ortega Smith plans an urgent motion at the next council plenary to demand repayment of all fines.
- Drivers can still challenge tickets one by one within set deadlines, and a new ordinance approved in March is now in force that the city says fixes the formal defects.
