What did the Town Council request in its February 2018 appeal?
In its appeal submitted to the High Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC), the Pratdip Town Council requested three things:
- The revocation of the order dated 12 December 2017, issued by the Administrative Court No. 1 of Tarragona in enforcement proceeding No. 14/2017.
- The declaration of inadmissibility of said enforcement or, alternatively, its outright rejection.
- The acknowledgment that, according to Article 195 of Decree 305/2006 (Urban Planning Law Regulation) and judgment No. 642 of 21 June 2016 from the High Court of Justice of Catalonia, the Town Council could only dissolve the EUCC if certain prior conditions were met (notably those in Sections 1 and 2 of the mentioned Article 195).
What was the response of the Court of Appeal (TSJC)?
The TSJC judges rejected the Town Council’s appeal and firmly reaffirmed the enforceable nature of the EUCC’s dissolution:
“The judgment is final and must be executed in the manner and under the conditions stated therein. All public and private persons and entities must provide the cooperation required by the judges to ensure its execution, in accordance with Article 103, Sections 2 and 3, of Law 29/1998.”
And they added:
“What is ordered in the final judgment is the dissolution of the Urban Conservation Entity of Planes del Rei (EUCC). The Pratdip Town Council must provide all necessary assistance to carry out this enforcement, without initiating any new procedure.”
“It is not necessary for the Town Council to adopt a prior act declaring the dissolution of the EUCC. This dissolution was already ruled by the judgment of 21 July 2016, which the council must simply implement by adopting the necessary acts for its effective execution.”
“Contrary to what the council claims, there is no inconsistency in the Consejo Rector of the EUCC (governing body) becoming its own liquidation body, as provided by Article 195.3 of the Urban Planning Regulation. The dissolution ruling is self-executing, without the need for any prior administrative act.”

Bonjour. Merci pour ces explications parfaitement claires. La décision est pleinement fondée, applicable en l’état, sans argutie supplémentaire, et intégralement exécutoire. Dont acte.
Cependant, dans les éléments communiqués, il n’y a pas de précision sur la suite à donner à ce jugement.
A savoir, quel délai d’application ( semaines, mois, années ?), pas de description sur les actions à
respecter, et surtout, aucune précision sur d’éventuels recours ou pénalités en cas de non respect de cette décision.
