Amendment of the indirect amparo complaint. The petitioner must be granted the 15-day period under articles 17 and 111, section II, of the Amparo Law when the authority's report reveals a new act linked to the one initially challenged.
Official heading (Spanish): AMPLIACIÓN DE LA DEMANDA DE AMPARO INDIRECTO. DEBE OTORGARSE A LA PARTE QUEJOSA EL PLAZO DE 15 DÍAS PREVISTO EN LOS ARTÍCULOS 17 Y 111, FRACCIÓN II, DE LA LEY DE AMPARO, CUANDO DEL INFORME JUSTIFICADO SE ADVIERTA UN NUEVO ACTO DE AUTORIDAD VINCULADO AL RECLAMADO INICIALMENTE.
The ruling
In several indirect amparos, the authorities attached documents to their reports revealing new acts related to those challenged. The District Courts dismissed without allowing time to amend. The Collegiate Circuit Court held that the 15-day period under articles 17 and 111, section II, of the Amparo Law must be respected before any dismissal.
Our take
The authority's report is often the first time the petitioner sees the full administrative file, and that is frequently where the act that truly affects it appears. This ruling guarantees the chance to challenge it within the same proceeding. For companies, every report must be reviewed immediately, with attention to the attachments, not just the text. If a new linked act appears, the deadline to amend starts running. And if the judge dismisses without respecting it, there are solid grounds for appeal.
What to do
- Review each authority report and its attachments on the day it is served.
- Calendar the 15-day amendment deadline as soon as a new act is identified.
- If dismissed without that period, appeal citing this ruling.
