| Manuel Baráibar Tovar contributed to the construction of jurisprudence on the principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings in the Mexican oral accusatory system. |
This principle is one of the cornerstones of the oral adversarial system established in Article 20 of the Constitution. Essentially, it requires that the judge who presided over the presentation of evidence in the oral trial be the same judge who issues the sentence. However, this is not always the case, and the procedural consequences of violating it are significant.
Knowing the criteria of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) on this principle is essential for defendants and their defenders in Mexico.
Principle of immediacy in criminal law within the accusatory system
The principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings establishes that all hearings in the oral trial must be held before the judge, who cannot delegate their functions to another person. This guarantee ensures the judge's direct contact with the evidence: they hear statements from witnesses, experts, and the accused, observe their behavior, and form their conviction based on what they perceive during the hearing.
Far from being a mere formality, this principle constitutes a substantive guarantee. Its purpose is to protect the defendant's right to be tried by the same judge who directly reviewed the evidence.
Furthermore, the adversarial oral system was created to correct the shortcomings of the inquisitorial model, in which the investigating judge rarely handed down the sentence. In this context, the principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings strengthens judicial impartiality and the reliability of decisions.
What do the Constitution and the National Code say about principio de inmediación penal?
Article 20 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States establishes that criminal justice shall be accusatory and oral, governed by the principles of publicity, adversarial proceedings, concentration, continuity, and immediacy. Therefore, the principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings is not merely a jurisprudential criterion: it has constitutional status, and its violation can compromise the validity of the entire trial.
For its part, the National Code of Criminal Procedure (CNPP) elaborates on this principle in Article 9, stating that no procedural action may be delegated. Additionally, Article 67 of the CNPP stipulates that when a judge is replaced, the actions previously taken must be repeated before the new judge.
The jurisprudence of the SCJN interprets this mandate strictly.

How has the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) defined the principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings?
The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation has issued important rulings on the scope of the principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings. Specifically, it maintains that it would be pointless for the judge to hear the parties, take the defendant's statement, and question the witnesses if this is done in isolated instances or before different judges.
|
“The principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings is the difference between a genuine oral trial and a sham trial in the adversarial system. When the judge who hands down the sentence was not the one who heard the evidence, the decision loses its most fundamental procedural legitimacy. The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) has been clear on this point, and at Baráibar & Asociados we have successfully invoked it in cases where attempts were made to replace the judge after the evidence had been presented. My participation in shaping the legal precedent allowed me, with great pride, to contribute to the development of the interpretation that now protects this principle in the Mexican adversarial system.”
— Manuel Baráibar Tovar, Esq., Founding Partner, Baráibar & Associates
|
The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) also determined that the principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings operates as an essential procedural rule. This implies the presence of the judge throughout the entire oral trial hearing, from the presentation of evidence to the pronouncement of the sentence.
The judge who hears the oral trial must be the same one who hands down the sentence.
The rule is clear: the judge presiding over the oral trial must issue the sentence.
The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) maintains that this requirement cannot be waived for reasons of administrative convenience or the workload of the Judiciary. If the judge is removed, reassigned, or replaced for any reason after the presentation of evidence has begun, the oral trial must be held again before the new judge.
Furthermore, a violation of the principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings produces a specific procedural consequence: the nullity of the oral trial. This means that a guilty verdict issued by a judge who did not witness the presentation of evidence can be overturned through an appeal or a direct amparo proceeding.
However, there is an important clarification that the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) has established. This principle cannot be absolutely demanded at all stages of the process. The reason is that the constitutional reform prioritized guaranteeing judicial impartiality: a judge who knows all the background information from the beginning could lose objectivity when issuing a ruling.
When is the principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings violated?
Three main allegations of rape.
The jurisprudence of the SCJN identifies three main assumptions of violation of the principle of criminal immediacy.
First assumption. The judge who hands down the sentence is different from the one who presided over the presentation of evidence, without the evidence having been presented again before the new judge.
Second assumption. The judge was not present at all the hearings of the oral trial, either because he delegated his presence to another official or because he was unjustifiably absent during the presentation of relevant evidence.
Third assumption. There are excessive and unjustified interruptions between sessions of the oral trial that disrupt the concentration and continuity of the proceedings. In these cases, the judge loses a direct and complete understanding of the evidence.
An oral trial divided into sessions widely separated from each other can compromise the principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings, especially when the judge is replaced between sessions.

Procedural consequences: the nullity of the oral trial
- As a rule, the violation of the principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings gives rise to the nullity of the oral trial.
- As a resultThe trial must be held again, with the full presentation of the evidence before the new judge, who will be the same one who issues the sentence.
- This nullityHowever, it is not updated automatically, but must be alleged and proven through the corresponding resources and means of appeal.
- The Supreme Court also He pointed out that the nullity resulting from the violation of the principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings does not always imply the immediate release of the accused.
Limits of the principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings according to the SCJN
As noted, the principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings cannot be absolutely demanded at all stages of the criminal process. The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) has recognized that this principle operates primarily in the oral trial phase, not in prior stages such as the investigation, the initial hearing, or the preliminary hearing. Therefore, the fact that different judges are involved in these stages does not in itself violate the principle of immediacy.
Furthermore, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) has determined that the principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings cannot be invoked to demand that the same judge preside over the case from its very inception. Strictly speaking, the principle requires that the judge presiding over the presentation of evidence in the oral trial be the same judge who hands down the sentence.
In that regard, it should be noted that the replacement of the judge before the formal start of the oral trial does not violate the principle, provided that the new judge presides over the trial hearings in their entirety and is the one who ultimately delivers the sentence.

Frequently asked questions about the principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings
1. In which article of the Constitution is the principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings found?
The principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings is enshrined in Article 20 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States, which establishes the principles of the oral adversarial system: publicity, adversarial proceedings, concentration, continuity, and immediacy. Its procedural development is found in Article 9 of the National Code of Criminal Procedure (CNPP).
2. What happens if the judge presiding over the oral trial is replaced before issuing a sentence?
If the trial judge is replaced before sentencing, the trial must be held again before the new judge, including the full presentation of evidence. If a sentence is issued without complying with this requirement, it constitutes a violation of the principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings and is subject to appeal. Legal basis: Articles 9 and 67 of the National Code of Criminal Procedure; Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) ruling ADR 492/2017.
3. Does a violation of the principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings lead to the release of the accused?
Not necessarily. A violation of the principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings results in the annulment of the oral trial and requires a new one. This does not imply an automatic acquittal of the accused, but rather that the process must be restarted respecting the guarantees of the adversarial system. However, in certain cases, it may justify a review of the pretrial detention measure while the proceedings are being restarted.
4. Does the principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings apply during the investigation stage?
No. The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) has determined that the principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings operates primarily during the oral trial phase, not in prior stages such as the investigation, the initial hearing, or the intermediate stage. Therefore, it is valid for different judges to preside over these stages without this constituting a violation. Legal basis: SCJN rulings ADR 492/2017 and ADR 1644/2021.
5. How is a violation of the principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings challenged?
It may be challenged by means of an appeal against the final judgment, arguing a violation of procedural law that affects the defense and impacts the outcome of the ruling. Alternatively, it may be raised in a direct amparo proceeding. Legal basis: Articles 467, section IV, and 468 of the National Code of Criminal Procedure; Article 170 of the Amparo Law.
6. Can it be invoked if the judge was absent during a hearing?
Yes. If the judge was not present at all hearings of the oral trial—either because they delegated their presence to another official or because they were absent during the presentation of key evidence—this may constitute a violation of the principle of immediacy in criminal proceedings. The defense must accurately document the absence and demonstrate that it affected the outcome of the trial. Legal basis: Article 20, Section A, Paragraph V, CPEUM; Article 9 CNPP.

by paulina@baraibar.com.mx | Jun 25, 2026 | Administrative Law
The 2026 Federal Law on Administrative Litigation (LFPCA) reform, which came into effect on June 10, 2026, represents one of the most significant changes to federal administrative litigation since the consolidation of the Online Justice System. Published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on June 9, 2026, this reform profoundly alters how companies and individuals must defend their rights before the Federal Court of Administrative Justice (TFJA). Therefore, if your company has ongoing tax, customs, or administrative litigation—or anticipates it in the near future—this analysis is essential to avoid being at a procedural disadvantage.
LFPCA Reform 2026, why does it mark a before and after?
The Federal Law of Administrative Litigation Procedure (LFPCA) regulates the legal process through which individuals and companies challenge resolutions issued by federal authorities, primarily the Tax Administration Service (SAT), the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP), the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), and various regulatory agencies. However, prior to this reform, the legal framework lacked mandatory deadlines for the Tribunal's actions, leading to procedural uncertainty and unpredictable resolution times.
The 2026 LFPCA reform substantially changes this paradigm. First, it imposes specific deadlines for the TFJA to carry out actions that previously lacked a legal timeframe. Furthermore, it deepens the digitization of the procedure and expands the summary procedure. However, and this is crucial, it also redistributes procedural burdens to the detriment of the individual: it reduces the value of annulments due to procedural defects and grants the authority broader discretion to reinstate annulled acts.
Consequently, the reform is not neutral. It requires litigants to rethink their strategy from the initial pleading stage, strengthen their substantive arguments, and more rigorously monitor the electronic case file and notifications via the Jurisdictional Bulletin.
| ⚖️ Do you have questions about this reform? The lawyers at Baráibar & Asociados in Mexico City can guide you. Schedule your consultation today. |
New mandatory deadlines: the LFPCA reform 2026 sets time limits for the TFJA
One of the most visible changes in the 2026 LFPCA reform is the incorporation of express deadlines for actions that previously lacked a legal time limit. Similarly, limits are established for procedural acts by the parties. Among the most relevant are the following:
The Federal Court of Administrative Justice (TFJA) will have five business days to rule on any motion unless the law establishes a different deadline. This same timeframe also applies to admitting or dismissing claims, amendments, responses, and appearances, once the corresponding preliminary requirements have been met. The final judgment in summary proceedings must be issued within a maximum of six months from the date the claim is admitted, subject to suspensions resulting from incidental proceedings or appeals.
Comparison of procedural deadlines
However, it is important to emphasize that failure to meet these deadlines does not, in itself, result in a deemed resolution or the automatic loss of jurisdiction of the court. Its practical effectiveness will depend on the oversight and enforcement mechanisms provided for in the Law. Therefore, having specialized legal counsel is essential to take advantage of these deadlines as a defense tool.
Digitization of the trial: hybrid file and electronic notifications
The 2026 LFPCA reform takes a further step in the digitization of administrative litigation. Although individuals retain the right to choose between traditional and online proceedings, the reform allows the defendant authority and third parties to appear and submit arguments electronically, even within a case being processed through traditional means. In such cases, the TFJA (Federal Court of Administrative Justice) must print and certify the electronic filings and documents for inclusion in the physical case file.
However, the most critical change for businesses is the modification to the notification system via the Jurisdictional Bulletin. Once the new Article 65 is in effect, the notification will take effect on the second business day following publication, instead of the third business day previously stipulated. This reduces the litigant's time to react. Therefore, maintaining daily and independent monitoring of the Bulletin—without relying exclusively on email notifications—becomes an urgent and practical necessity.
Likewise, when submitting digitized documents, the applicant must declare, under oath, whether they are originals, certified copies, or simple copies. Failure to do so will create a presumption, to the detriment of the offeror, that the document is a simple copy.
Expansion of the summary procedure: benefit or strategic trap?
The 2026 LFPCA reform expands the scope of summary proceedings by increasing the threshold amount from fifteen to thirty times the Unit of Measurement and Update (UMA) per year. It also expressly incorporates resolutions issued by tax authorities in response to refund requests for overpayments or payments made in error. In principle, this may reduce the time required for disputes involving small and medium amounts.
However, the summary procedure also reduces the time available to obtain documents, prepare expert opinions, or gather technical information during the proceedings. Therefore, if your case falls under this procedure, the lawsuit must be filed with a practically complete theory of the case and evidentiary record from the outset. Similarly, the grounds for appeal must be solid and focused on the merits, because the time to develop them after filing the lawsuit will be minimal.

Changes in the suspension of the contested act: less burden, more risks
The reform eliminates the requirement to prove that the execution of the challenged act could cause irreparable harm or damage. This ostensibly facilitates access to provisional relief. Therefore, obtaining a stay of the act should, in theory, be simpler for the individual.
However, the reform introduces two new scenarios in which a suspension will be considered to affect the public interest or violate public order: when it allows the continuation of activities requiring federal permits, authorizations, or concessions without them; or when it allows the commission or continuation of conduct that constitutes an infraction or crime. For companies in regulated sectors—energy, telecommunications, finance, and customs—these categories represent a real risk. In these cases, the suspension request must precisely define its effects and demonstrate that the measure only preserves the subject matter of the lawsuit.
Formal nullities and replacement of acts: strategic impact for companies
One of the most strategically impactful changes of the 2026 LFPCA reform concerns the reinstatement of actions annulled due to procedural or formal defects. The tax authority will have four months to reinstate the procedure and issue a new resolution—or one month in summary proceedings—even if, in tax matters, the time limits established in Articles 46-A, 50, or 67 of the Federal Tax Code have expired.
When there is nullity due to formal defects, the authority can replace the act within 4 months.
This amendment reduces the possibility that a formal annulment could, simply through the passage of time, become a definitively favorable ruling for the individual. Therefore, defense strategies based solely on procedural or formal defects lose some of their effectiveness. Instead, it will be necessary to strengthen substantive appeals and expressly request an analysis of the substantive arguments. It is worth noting that, as a counterbalance, the reform does strengthen the mechanisms for enforcing judgments: it shortens deadlines and allows for fines of 300 to 1,000 times the UMA (Unit of Measurement and Update) against authorities who unjustifiably fail to comply.
Expanded tax review: the 2026 LFPCA reform and ANAM on the scene
The 2026 LFPCA reform also modifies the tax review process. The general threshold for the amount in controversy is set at 27,000 times the Unit of Measurement and Update (UMA) in effect at the time of the resolution or judgment. Furthermore, certain resolutions issued at the complaint stage are included, and the National Customs Agency of Mexico (ANAM) and its administrative units are expressly recognized as authorities authorized to file appeals in matters within their jurisdiction.
In practice, this means that a favorable ruling based solely on procedural violations may cease to be final in high-value disputes. Likewise, in the customs arena, the express incorporation of the ANAM reinforces the need to build a technically sound case file from the outset in matters of tariff classification, customs valuation, origin of goods, and non-tariff regulations. However, the reform also opens the door to greater procedural certainty in lower-value cases where tax review is no longer applicable.

Conclusion: the 2026 LFPCA reform requires a more strategic defense from the outset
The 2026 LFPCA reform is not a minor technical update. It is a turning point that requires a rethinking of litigation strategy in administrative courts. Therefore, companies with current or future litigation before the TFJA must take immediate action: classify their cases according to the rules of deferred effect, strengthen their monitoring of the Jurisdictional Bulletin, prepare advance evidentiary files, and review the strength of their substantive arguments.

Frequently Asked Questions about the LFPCA 2026 Reform
1. When did the LFPCA 2026 reform come into effect?
The 2026 Federal Law on Administrative Procedure (LFPCA) reform entered into force on June 10, 2026, one day after its publication in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF), with the exception of certain provisions with deferred implementation (Article 6 Bis in February 2027 and hybrid procedures in December 2026). Legal basis: Transitory Article One of the Decree published on June 9, 2026.
2. What is the deadline for the TFJA to agree to a promotion under the LFPCA 2026 reform?
The Federal Court of Administrative Justice (TFJA) has five business days to rule on any motion unless otherwise specified by law. This same timeframe applies to admitting or dismissing claims and responses. However, failure to meet this deadline does not, in itself, result in a deemed decision or loss of jurisdiction. Basis: new Article 6 Bis of the Federal Law of Administrative Procedure (LFPCA).
3. Does the burden of proof change in order to obtain the suspension of the challenged act?
Yes. The 2026 LFPCA reform eliminates the requirement to prove irreparable damages. However, it introduces two new grounds for harm to the public interest: activities that require authorization but lack it, and conduct that constitutes an infraction or crime. Companies in regulated sectors should carefully evaluate their case before requesting a suspension. Basis: reforms to Articles 24 and 28 of the LFPCA.
4. What if the authority annuls my act due to a procedural defect under the new law?
The authority will have four months (one of which will be a summary proceeding) to reinstate the procedure and issue a new ruling, even if the time limits established in Article 46-A or 67 of the Federal Tax Code have expired. This reduces the strategic advantage of formal annulments and reinforces the importance of also challenging the merits of the case. Legal basis: new Article 52, last paragraph, Federal Law of Administrative Procedure.
5. What is the hybrid file in the LFPCA 2026 reform?
This is the system that allows the defendant authority and third parties to submit electronic documents within a trial conducted through traditional means. The Federal Court of Administrative Justice (TFJA) must print and certify the electronic documents for inclusion in the physical case file. This provision will enter into force on December 6, 2026. Legal basis: Article 19, second paragraph as amended, and Transitory Article Five of the Federal Law of Administrative Procedure (LFPCA).
6. Can ANAM initiate the tax review process?
Yes. The 2026 LFPCA reform expressly recognizes the National Customs Agency of Mexico and its administrative units as authorities authorized to file tax review appeals in matters within their jurisdiction, provided that the threshold of 27,000 times the UMA (Unit of Measurement and Update) is met. Legal basis: Article 63, amended sections, LFPCA.

by paulina@baraibar.com.mx | Jun 8, 2026 | Constitutional Law
The constitutional reform that took effect yesterday, June 3, 2026, redefines the electoral calendar and strengthens the integrity of democratic processes in Mexico. Published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on June 2, 2026, this constitutional reform contains three fundamental changes that directly affect the legal certainty of businesses, citizens, and authorities throughout the country.
What is the Constitutional Reform of June 3, 2026?
The constitutional reform of June 2026 modifies the electoral deadlines and grounds through three separate decrees published in the evening edition of the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF). However, the most significant change is the postponement of the judicial elections from 2027 to 2028. Therefore, the Federal Judiciary will not elect magistrates and judges in 2027, as initially planned.
Furthermore, the legislature incorporated a new ground for electoral annulment: foreign intervention or interference in electoral processes. However, this legal innovation requires clear and conclusive evidence. Similarly, the General Law of Electoral Institutions and Procedures was amended to create a commission to verify the integrity of candidates.
First Change: Postponement of the Judicial Election to 2028
Originally, the 2024 judicial reform stipulated that the election of magistrates and judges would take place in June 2027. However, this constitutional reform of June 2026 postpones that process to 2028. The reason: it allows for the consolidation of institutional changes and generates greater certainty in the federal justice system.
This postponement has critical implications for litigation firms. Consequently, the current criteria of federal judges remain in effect for an additional 18 months. For their part, lawyers should update their litigation strategies, considering that there will be no judicial renewal in 2027.
Comparison of the main effects of the constitutional reform of June 2026
Second Change: New Ground for Electoral Nullity — Foreign Intervention
Furthermore, the constitutional reform incorporates proven foreign intervention or interference in the electoral process as grounds for electoral annulment. This new provision responds to international concerns regarding the integrity of the vote. It is important to note that the National Electoral Institute (INE) must prove the causal link between the interference and the electoral outcome.
The implications for transnational corporations are clear: they are prohibited from participating in campaign financing, even indirectly. For example, contributions to organizations that then finance campaigns can constitute foreign interference. Therefore, compliance with electoral regulations is more stringent than before.
⚖️ Do you have questions about this topic? The lawyers at Baráibar & Asociados in Mexico City can guide you. Schedule your consultation today.
Third Change: Candidate Integrity Verification Commission
The reform also establishes a commission to verify the integrity of candidates for elected office. However, this commission has limited powers: it can only investigate criminal, administrative, and tax records. Nevertheless, the final decision to cancel a candidacy remains the responsibility of the INE (National Electoral Institute).
The impact on companies is significant when partners or shareholders aspire to public office. First, their backgrounds will be publicly scrutinized. Furthermore, any tax or administrative irregularities can negatively impact their political standing.
Evaluation of the Current Legal Context
The Mexican Bar Association (BMA) issued a critical statement on June 2, warning that these reforms do not correct the structural problems stemming from the 2024 judicial reform. In fact, postponing the judicial election generates additional economic uncertainty.
On the other hand, business organizations have expressed concern about the continued presence of judges whose criteria some consider risky. Similarly, the new electoral probity requirement affects business candidates, limiting the diversity of profiles in elected positions.
However, experts consulted point out that the postponement to 2028 allows the new institutions created by the 2024 reform to consolidate. Therefore, the measure is pragmatic, albeit temporary.
📋 Don't face this process alone. At Baráibar & Asociados, we have specialists in Constitutional Law ready to defend your interests in Mexico City.
Immediate Obligations for Businesses and Citizens
In addition to complying with the new electoral regulations, companies must audit their relationships with candidates and political parties. It is important to note that any contribution, even indirect, can be classified as foreign interference if it involves foreign entities.
For their part, citizens must understand that the new standard of electoral integrity is more rigorous. However, due process guarantees remain in place. Likewise, decisions of the verification commission can be challenged before electoral bodies.
In conclusion, the constitutional reform of June 2026 is not a radical change, but it does represent significant adjustments. Therefore, expert advice is more valuable than ever to navigate this new legal landscape.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Does the constitutional reform of June 2026 affect active litigation processes?
The reform does not affect existing procedures, only modifying the electoral calendar. However, the postponement of the judicial election maintains the current interpretive criteria for a longer period. Therefore, existing jurisprudence remains binding until 2028. Ongoing litigation will be resolved according to the rules applicable at the time the action was filed.
- What are the penalties for proven foreign election interference?
The law does not specify particular sanctions in the reform decree, but the penalties under the Electoral Criminal Code would apply. Furthermore, the election where the interference occurred may be annulled. However, the evidence must be unequivocal and presented to the National Electoral Institute (INE).
- What does ‘probity’ mean in the context of the verification commission?
Probity means moral integrity and rectitude in the exercise of public functions. The commission verifies criminal, administrative, and tax records. It also investigates declared conflicts of interest. However, the standards of ‘probity’ vary according to the electoral body's interpretation.
- Can the decisions of the probity verification commission be challenged?
Yes. Candidates may file administrative appeals and electoral litigation. However, the procedure must be completed before the candidate registration period closes. Likewise, the burden of proof rests with the party challenging the commission's decision.
- Are the eligibility requirements for candidates changing?
Not in a formal sense. The age, nationality, and residency requirements remain the same. However, the new integrity filter adds a de facto requirement: no serious criminal, administrative, or tax record. Therefore, access to candidacies becomes more selective.
- Until when will the postponement of the judicial election to 2028 be valid?
The postponement is enshrined in the reform and can only be modified through a new constitutional amendment. Similarly, it would require approval in both houses of Congress and 50% of state legislatures. Therefore, it is virtually irreversible within the current presidential term.

The reform to the Amparo Law 2025The ruling, published on October 16 in the Official Gazette of the Federation, reshaped the constitutional framework in Mexico. Every company with operations in Mexico City needs to understand the true scope of these changes before its next conflict with a tax or administrative authority.
This isn't about technical adjustments. It's about a structural shift in the amparo proceedings: tax matters, suspensions of the challenged action, judicial digitization, and retroactive application. Companies that don't update their legal strategy will be exposed to risks that, six months ago, were easily defensible.
At Baráibar & Asociados, we analyzed the decree and its operational impact on businesses, real estate companies, and corporations in Mexico City. This guide explains the critical points, hidden risks, and strategic decisions your company should make this quarter.
What changed with the 2025 reform to the Amparo Law? This guide explains the critical points, hidden risks, and strategic decisions your company should make this quarter.
What changed with the 2025 reform to the Amparo Law? This guide explains the critical points, hidden risks, and strategic decisions your company should make this quarter.
The reform is based on four pillars: digitization of the Services Portal of the Federal Judiciary, restriction of amparo in tax matters, modification of the rules of suspension of the challenged act and a retroactive transitional provision that most constitutional experts consider openly unconstitutional.
Each of these measures has direct consequences for businesses in Mexico City. Digitalization requires businesses to have legal representation registered on the electronic portal. Tax restrictions close doors that for decades protected taxpayers from enforceable tax assessments. The new suspension rules expand exemptions for public entities. The retroactive transitional provision also opens a window for constitutional litigation that only specialized law firms are prepared to navigate.
Mandatory judicial digitization: the new Services Portal of the Federal Judiciary
The reform prioritizes electronic filing as the primary means for amparo proceedings. Responsible authorities, third parties, and petitioners must operate through the Online Services Portal of the Federal Judiciary. Physical filing of documents is no longer the rule but becomes an exception reserved for very specific cases.
Therefore, electronic notifications acquire full procedural validity, and deadlines begin to run from the date of the consultation or the legal presumption of consultation. Furthermore, the responsible authorities must digitize actions, administrative files, and records that were previously presented on paper, which accelerates the process but also makes it less forgivable for oversights.
Consequently, a modern firm needs a law firm with valid e-signature certificates, internal infrastructure for receiving electronic notifications, and a clear protocol for digital case tracking. A 48-hour delay in checking the portal can result in preclusions, fines, or the loss of proceedings. Firms still operating with traditional practices face an operational risk even greater than the underlying risk of the case itself.

Restrictions on tax protection: the shield was reduced
The most significant change for businesses is the restriction on legal protection against final tax assessments. Previously, a company could challenge the merits of an assessment even after it became final, alleging substantive violations during its enforcement. Historically, this loophole saved companies with millions of dollars in debt stemming from poorly substantiated tax audits by the Mexican Tax Administration Service (SAT).
Today, the amparo proceeding is only admissible against acts of execution or collection, up to the publication of the auction notice, and only for violations that occurred within the administrative execution procedure. The scope is limited to procedural errors in the collection process, not to the original debt. The merits of the case are no longer addressed in this final stage.
Consequently, the traditional strategy of appealing at the end of the process has been ruled out. If the company did not properly defend itself from the initial assessment of the credit—or from the appeal for reconsideration, or from the administrative litigation—its subsequent recourse is limited to procedural flaws that are almost always minor and rarely decisive.
What it was like before the reform
Before October 17, 2025, taxpayers could challenge a final tax assessment through indirect amparo proceedings when they detected constitutional violations that had not been previously identified. This amparo was, in practice, a second chance for companies with multimillion-dollar assessments or with rulings that could be challenged due to supervening unconstitutionality. The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) had established consistent criteria that kept this avenue of effective constitutional protection open.
What has changed and when is legal protection now available?
However, the reform limits this second opportunity. The injunction is only applicable against the enforcement proceedings, not against the underlying debt. Furthermore, it must be filed before the publication of the auction notice, not afterward. In conclusion, companies with debts under review must act now, before their cases reach a final stage and they lose effective constitutional protection.
Suspension of the contested action: new rules affecting companies
The suspension is the mechanism that prevents an authority from carrying out an action while the injunction is being resolved. Without a suspension, there is no effective injunction. The reform modified two key aspects of this mechanism: the granting of guarantees and exemptions for public entities, two components that underpin any serious business defense strategy.
On the one hand, the criteria for granting injunctions were tightened in fiscal, financial, and administrative matters. The district judge now requires stronger evidence of a prima facie case, irreparable harm, and public interest. On the other hand, public entities, decentralized agencies, and state-owned enterprises obtained exemptions that allow them to suspend challenged actions without providing financial security.
In practice, this combination creates an uncomfortable procedural asymmetry: the private sector must prove more to obtain a suspension, while the public sector accesses suspensions with fewer requirements. Companies litigating against authorities or state-owned enterprises face a more challenging playing field than just two years ago.
Guarantees, exceptions, and margins of defense
Therefore, companies need to provide robust evidence for each of the requirements for a stay of proceedings: prima facie case, irreparable harm, and the absence of prejudice to public order or the public interest. A poorly substantiated petition can deny the stay and expose the company to seizures, closures, or the freezing of bank accounts. Consequently, the technical expertise of the law firm matters more than ever, and the difference between amateur and premium litigation lies in the guarantees effectively provided.
Retroactivity: the transitional provision that generated constitutional alarm
The most controversial aspect of the reform is a last-minute transitional provision that allows the changes to be applied to trials initiated before the reform takes effect. The Mexican Constitution expressly prohibits the retroactive application of laws to the detriment of any person in Article 14. Few rules in our national legal system are as clear and as long-standing.
Therefore, this transitional provision is, in the opinion of most constitutional experts, blatantly unconstitutional. Companies with pending injunctions now face the possibility that their procedural rules may change mid-trial. This undermines the legal certainty that underpins any serious business defense strategy and discourages investment.
However, the unconstitutionality of the transitional provision paradoxically opens a strategic avenue: directly challenging its retroactive application through a new injunction. This litigation could establish legal precedent and protect all companies in similar situations. Furthermore, top law firms are building precedents in various circuits to challenge this transitional provision. The first rulings, expected in the second half of 2026, will set the standard for the entire Mexican business sector.

Impact on corporate defense strategy: from litigation to lobbying
The reform has brought about a paradigm shift in corporate defense. Companies that historically relied on injunctions as a bulwark are now exploring other avenues. Institutional lobbying, administrative mediation, international arbitration, and negotiation with authorities have become essential components of modern legal strategy.
However, this does not mean that constitutional litigation is dead. It means that it can no longer be improvised. Every action must be planned from the outset, starting with prevention and the first act of authority, not at the end of the process. Legal planning replaces legal reaction, and boards of directors must update their risk matrices.
Strategic litigation still viable
The amparo proceeding remains the most powerful tool in Mexican law. However, it demands impeccable preparation, robust documentary evidence, and a legal team with proven constitutional experience. Companies that continue to treat amparo as a last resort will lose out; those that integrate it into their corporate governance and compliance matrix will gain decisive advantages in their defense.
Arbitration and mediation as alternatives
On the other hand, international arbitration and administrative mediation allow for the resolution of disputes outside the judicial system. These avenues are gaining ground in the corporate, energy, real estate, and technology sectors. Furthermore, they offer predictability, confidentiality, and speed that Mexican courts do not guarantee, especially in a judicial environment undergoing significant restructuring.
What should businesses in Mexico City do? Preventive checklist
In the face of a regulatory change of this magnitude, prevention far outweighs reaction. Companies in Mexico City must immediately review their contracts, their tax exposure, and their map of active litigation. Furthermore, they should update their defense strategy with their primary law firm and inform their board of directors of the new situation.
- Audit all tax credits under review or to be determined before they reach a final stage.
- Review the arbitration and jurisdiction clauses of current contracts with suppliers, partners, and authorities.
- Strengthen the internal compliance area and the protocols for immediate response to acts of authority.
- Request the firm to conduct a specific analysis of how the retroactive transitional provision affects any ongoing injunctions.
- Update the board of directors' legal risk map with a focus on tax and administrative matters.
Finally, it is advisable to establish a direct line of communication with a law firm specializing in constitutional protection and litigation. In this new environment, speed of response is as important as the technical quality of the document.

Conclusion: a new stage for the defense of the Mexican Constitution
The 2025 reform to the Amparo Law marks the beginning of a new era for Mexican business law. Constitutional protection remains, but it demands sophistication, anticipation, and boutique-level legal support. Amparo is no longer a reactive measure but has become a key element of preventative strategy.
Companies that take action this quarter will be better positioned with the tax authorities, the judiciary, and other administrative bodies. Those that wait will discover that the protection they took for granted has been reduced and that rebuilding it too late costs far more than preventing problems in time.
Frequently asked questions about the 2025 reform to the Amparo Law
When did the 2025 reform to the Amparo Law come into effect?
The reform was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on October 16, 2025, and entered into force on October 17 of the same year, pursuant to the First Transitory Article of the decree. It applies to all proceedings initiated from that date and, controversially, also to certain pending matters by virtue of a transitional provision.
Does the reform to the Amparo Law apply retroactively to trials in progress?
Yes, according to a transitional provision challenged as unconstitutional under Article 14 of the Constitution, which prohibits retroactive application to the detriment of any person. Companies with existing injunctions can challenge this application through a new constitutional lawsuit, which is generating valuable precedents in specialized courts.
What tax changes did the reform to the Amparo Law bring?
The injunction against final tax assessments is restricted to acts of enforcement or collection, up to the publication of the auction notice, and only for violations of the enforcement procedure, pursuant to Article 107 of the amended Amparo Law. It precludes challenging the substance of the original assessment.
Can my company continue to file for protection against SAT resolutions?
Yes, but the correct procedural moment has passed. It's advisable to file for amparo (constitutional protection) from the moment the debt is determined, the appeal for reconsideration is filed, or the administrative litigation begins, not at the end. After the judgment becomes final, amparo is only available against procedural defects, which significantly reduces the scope for effective defense.
What is the suspension of the challenged act and how does it change with the reform?
It is the precautionary measure that prevents the execution of the act while the amparo (constitutional protection) is being resolved, regulated in Article 128 of the Amparo Law. The reform tightens the requirements for private individuals and expands guarantee exemptions for public entities, creating a procedural asymmetry that requires technically strengthened written submissions from companies.
What alternatives does my company have if the injunction is restricted?
The main options are domestic or international commercial arbitration, administrative mediation, institutional lobbying, and negotiation with authorities. Additionally, a proactive strategy encompassing tax compliance, contracts, and corporate governance reduces the need for litigation. The writ of amparo remains in effect, but as an integrated tool, not as the sole remedy.

The labor certification for agricultural exports It's no longer just an idea: since the May 1, 2026 (Official Gazette, evening edition) the Article 283 Quater to the LFT so that the STPS may issue a certificate of compliance with labor and social security regulations, with operating rules to be issued within 30 days. In parallel, the Ley de Comercio Exterior to incorporate assumptions linked to deforestation/land use change and ecology as a basis for measures in foreign trade. (Cámara de Diputados)
For agricultural exporters and supply chains (agro/forestry), the message is clear: the market and the authorities are aligning towards low tolerance facing risks labor, social security and environmental.
What exactly changed in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF) of May 1, 2026? (and… why does it matter?)
The Decree published in the evening edition amends three parts:
- Foreign Trade Law, Article 15, sections IV and VI
- The following is expressly incorporated: prevention of deforestation and unauthorized land use change in forest areas as an assumption for measures.
- The spectrum of “situations not foreseen by NOM” is broadened to include ecologyand it also connects with work and social security. (Cámara de Diputados)
- Federal Labor Law, Article 283 Quater (new)
- “The STPS may issue a certificate of compliance with labor and social security obligations”, in accordance with general provisions issued by competent authorities. (Cámara de Diputados)
- Key transient
- STPS must issue rules/procedures in 30 days counted from the date of entry into force (entry into force was the day after publication). (Cámara de Diputados)
Why it matters: Article 15 LCE is the “legal gateway” to non-tariff regulatory or restrictive measures (permits, certifications, etc.) in export and import. In agricultural exports, this translates into controls of evidence gathering, traceability and auditingIf your operation cannot demonstrate "lawful origin" (environmental) and "compliance" (labor/SS), your risk is no longer theoretical: it is operational (customs, clients, contracts, financing).
New “environmental” grounds in foreign trade: from regulation to customs risk
How does Article 15 of the LCE operate in practice?
The article 15 allows you to establish non-tariff measures on exports in specific cases. With the reform, section IV expressly includes prevent deforestation and unauthorized change of forest land use. (Cámara de Diputados)
This does not automatically create a new “environmental permit” the next day; what it does is legally enable to the authority to design measures in foreign trade (e.g., documentary requirements, certifications, tariff classification restrictions, conditions by origin, etc.) when it detects the environmental risk.
The technical focus: “change of land use in forest land”
The “change of land use in forest lands” is a concept regulated within the forestry/environmental framework (and typically requires authorization). The reform in the Foreign Trade Law ties foreign trade to this front: if your production chain touches areas with potential forest character, the evidentiary standard rises.Cámara de Diputados)
Recurring risk in supply chain audits: “Mixed” (agricultural-forestry) properties, historical expansions of the agricultural frontier, informal leases or leases without a robust record, and incomplete traceability by collectors.
STPS labor certification for agricultural exports: what it is and what it is NOT
What do we know? (LFT 283 Quater)
The art. 283 Quater LFT empowers the STPS to issue a certificate of compliance with obligations labor and social security, subject to general provisions. (Cámara de Diputados)
What is still a gray area? (until the rules are released)
The standard does not yet define:
- yes it will be mandatory or “voluntary with commercial effects”;
- What universe does it cover: only the field?, all exporting companies?, by product, by company name, by workplace?;
- validity, grounds for suspension or revocation;
- interoperability with IMSS/SAT/INFONAVIT and digital records;
- whether it will function as a "pass" for customers/customs or as a requirement for certain procedures.
Strategic reading: Although presented as a certification, it will operate as commercial risk management toolGlobal customers, retailers, and industrial buyers can make it a contractual (or eligibility) condition, even before an authority formally requires it.
Practical impact on agricultural exporters and supply chains (agro/forestry)
If you export (or supply those who export), the impact is concentrated in three layers:
- OperationYou need files ready "on demand".
- payroll, contracts, work schedules, payroll/temporary lists, evidence of training, and safety and hygiene documents.
- Evidence of social security: affiliation and payments, subcontracting in accordance with applicable rules, and documentary consistency.
- ChainYour risk doesn't end on your property.
Purchases from producers, packers, collectors, or third parties. The LCE reform pushes the “environmental risk” to become traceable by lot, supplier, property, and geography. (Cámara de Diputados)
- Commercial/contracts: declarations and remedies are being toughened
You will see more clauses from:
- audit and access to information,
- termination for labor/environmental non-compliance,
- indemnities for penalties and withholdings,
- obligations to maintain certifications.
Does your agricultural export operation need to implement this reform in policies, contracts, and audit records? Baráibar & Asociados (CDMX) We can help you design a robust and defensible compliance plan. Schedule a consultation.
Risk matrix 2026: where companies fail most often
The following are typical “points of failure” that make the STPS certificate and the environmental cause critical in LCE:
1) Labor: temporary agricultural workers, underreporting and fragmented documentation
In the field, the risk is not only non-compliance, but also inability to prove it consistently across work centers, seasons, and contractors. The STPS certificate, if it becomes standard, will penalize informal documentation.Cámara de Diputados)
2) Social security: IMSS gaps due to mobility and third parties
Schemes with high turnover and labor providers are highly auditable. A “certificate” that combines labor and social security forces alignment:
- highs/lows,
- SBC,
- opportune whole,
- consistency between CFDI payroll and social security payments.
3) Environmental: properties, polygons and evidence of authorization
The LCE cause does not pursue “opinions”; it pursues demonstrable factsDeforestation/land use change without authorization. The real bottleneck will be the paperwork (titles, permits, plans, coordinates, supply contracts, batch traceability). (Cámara de Diputados)
4) Foreign trade: non-tariff requirements and sensitive tariff lines
The LCE stipulates that non-tariff measures will be implemented via prior permits, quotas, origin marking, certifications and other instruments. With the reform, “certification” ceases to be just a matter of quality: it also becomes a labor/environmental issue. (Cámara de Diputados)
How to prepare: a defensible compliance plan in 30–90 days
This is where a "premium" approach makes a difference: it's not about putting together papers, it's about building evidentiary capacity.
Step 1: Internal due diligence, “buyer audit” type
- map of work centers, seasons and labor providers;
- review of contracts, regulations, working hours, payments and receipts;
- consistency payroll-accounting-taxes-social security (without contradictions).
Step 2: STPS file ready for certification
Although we don't yet know the official checklist, a robust file typically includes:
- organizational chart and responsible parties,
- compliance policies,
- evidence of training and safety and hygiene,
- logs and minutes,
- contracts and payment receipts,
- traceability of seasonal temporary staff.
Step 3: Environmental traceability by supplier/property/batch
Your traceability system must be able to answer: From which property did this product originate, and what evidence supports the claim that there was no unauthorized change in the use of forest land?
Consolidate:
- supplier onboarding,
- contractual statements,
- documentary verification,
- sample audits,
- mechanisms for terminating and replacing suppliers.
Step 4: Contracts: turning compliance into an operational obligation
Update supply/manufacturing/purchase agreements with:
- obligation to provide periodic evidence,
- audits and right of visit,
- obligation to notify investigations/sanctions,
- proportionate and enforceable remedies (withholding, substitution, rescission).

What's next: realistic scenarios following the publication of STPS rules
There are three plausible scenarios (and they are not mutually exclusive):
- Certification as a commercial “fast-track”
Buyers demand it as a supplier standard; those who do not have it are excluded from bids/contracts.
- Certification as a requirement in procedures or programs
It can be indirectly linked to authorizations or facilitation schemes; even without calling it "mandatory", the market makes it indispensable.
- Certification as a basis for focused inspection
The existence of a formal instrument creates a "map" of certified/non-certified companies. This can influence inspections, audits, and reviews.
In parallel, the environmental grounds in LCE enable sectoral measures (by product or fraction) where the risk of deforestation/land use change is high. (Cámara de Diputados)
Conclusion
The reform of May 1, 2026 It's not just "more regulation": it's a change in architecture. Foreign trade can now rely more explicitly on ecology (including deforestation/land use change) and in work/social security to justify measures. And the STPS obtains an instrument (certification) that, by design, can become market access currency. (Cámara de Diputados)

FAQs (real searches in Mexico)
1) What is the labor compliance certificate for agricultural exports?
It is a certificate that the STPS may issue to certify compliance with obligations labor and social security, provided for in the Article 283 Quater of the LFT. Su trámite dependerá de disposiciones generales que emitan autoridades competentes. (Cámara de Diputados)
2) Is the STPS certificate now mandatory for exporting?
The Decree only empowers the STPS to issue it and orders the issuance of rules within 30 days; it does not, in itself, establish a universal obligation to export. However, it may become enforceable through subsequent rules or contracts with buyers.Cámara de Diputados)
3) What changed in the Foreign Trade Law regarding environmental issues?
The art. 15, section IV to include prevention of deforestation and change of land use in forest lands without authorization, and the fracción VI to include ecology (and connection with work/social security) as a basis for measures. (Cámara de Diputados)
4) What type of measures can foreign trade impose for these reasons?
The LCE provides for non-tariff measures such as prior permits, quotas, origin marking, certifications and other instruments, identifiable by tariff classification. The reformed grounds allow for their design when there is an environmental/labor risk according to the assumption. (Cámara de Diputados)
5) How does this reform affect companies that buy from independent producers?
Raises the standard of due diligenceThe leading company may need to demonstrate traceability and compliance in its supply chain to sustain exports or contracts. The reform aims to prevent environmental risks (deforestation/land use change) that often materialize upstream. (Cámara de Diputados)
6) What documents should be prepared for an STPS labor certification?
Although regulations are lacking, it is advisable to structure the evidentiary file: contracts, receipts and timesheets; evidence of safety and hygiene; records of temporary personnel; and consistency of social security compliance. Rationale: art. 283 Quater LFT and transitional procedural rules. (Cámara de Diputados)
