The TSJ appoints the titular justice of the peace for the municipality of Montejaque

The High Court of Justice has appointed a permanent justice of the peace for Montejaque. The announcement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Málaga (BOPMA) on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, under the official reference Edict 3872/2026, in the second section of the summary, dedicated to the judicial body.

The announcement and its placement in the summary

The summary of the provincial gazette organizes announcements into five blocks: ministries, High Court of Justice, Provincial Council, city councils, and consortiums. The appointment for Montejaque occupies block 2, reserved for agreements of the judicial body, and is the only announcement in that section in the October 27 issue.

The published text is limited to identifying the destination of the appointment—the municipality of Montejaque—and its status as a permanent position, with the reference Edict 3872/2026. The summary entry does not include the name of the designated person or the date of the agreement, data which appear in the full text of the edict.

• Issuing body: High Court of Justice (section 2 of the summary).
• Position: permanent justice of the peace.
• Municipality: Montejaque.
• Official reference: Edict 3872/2026.
• Publication: BOPMA of October 27, 2026.

Justice of the peace in the provincial gazette

The publication of justice of the peace appointments in the provincial gazette is the procedure that provides official publicity to the designation and allows it to be known by the residents of the affected municipality. In the same October 27 issue, the remaining announcements correspond to files from other areas: the Ministry of Economy, Innovation and Science (file AT-18591), the Provincial Council of Málaga (Edict 4180/2026), and about twenty city councils with urban planning procedures, budgets, fees, and job calls.

The appointment for Montejaque is not an isolated case in the recent activity of the gazette. Justices of the peace appear in several publications over these weeks:

• Nerja: appointment of a substitute justice of the peace, Edict 3870/2026, published in the BOPMA of October 26, 2026.
• Alcaucín: call for a vacancy for a secretary of the Justice Office of the Justice of the Peace Court, Edict 4045/2026, in the October 26, 2026 issue.

Both references share the same section and administrative nature as the Montejaque announcement: they are personnel acts in the service of the Administration of Justice at the municipal level that are formalized by edict and disseminated in the provincial gazette.

Scope of the announcement

The designation affects the judicial reference position of the municipality, the justice of the peace court, which serves as the first instance for minor civil proceedings, conciliation acts, and civil registry functions in localities that do not have a court of first instance. Filling the position as a permanent titular provides stability to the service, compared to substitution or vacancy situations that are resolved with interim appointments or with the support of nearby judicial bodies.

The edict appears in the block of the High Court of Justice, which confirms that the competence for the appointment corresponds to the high court and not to the city council, although the destination of the appointment is the municipality of Montejaque.

The publication in the Official Gazette of the Province of Málaga on October 27, 2026, closes the official publicity phase of the appointment. For the residents of Montejaque, the announcement represents the formal confirmation of the person who will occupy the justice of the peace judicature as the titular and the starting point of their activity at the head of the body, with the reference Edict 3872/2026 as the official identifier for any inquiry or administrative procedure. Anyone requiring the full detail of the agreement—the identity of the appointee and the date of the designation—must refer to the full text of the edict in the edition of the gazette corresponding to that day, as the summary only contains the abstract of the announcement.
