The Supreme Court admits the appeal of the Consell de Mallorca to eliminate the VAO lane on the Ma-19
The effects of the lane are suspended since two years ago due to the works that are being carried out
PalmaThe Supreme Court has admitted for processing the appeal by the Council of Mallorca to demand the definitive removal of the bus-VAO lane on the Ma-19 highway. In the order, the high court orders the submission of the proceedings to the Fifth Section of the Supreme Court Chamber, which will be responsible for issuing the final judgment and determining whether the prior binding report of the body holding title to a road is mandatory only for the initial implementation of a bus-VAO lane, or if it is also a requirement exigible for subsequent annual agreements that determine its maintenance or extension.
It should be recalled that the island institution took the appeal to the high court alleging that the reports from the Council's technicians supporting the removal must have a binding nature, as they did for its implementation. The appeal was filed after the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid ruled in favor of the lane's permanence. Likewise, the effects of the aforementioned lane have been suspended since 2024 due to various works on Mallorca's road infrastructure, and once completed, they would be re-enabled, if justice does not oppose it.
