Physiotherapists challenge the TSJC regarding the call for 31 selection processes

The College of Physiotherapists of Catalonia has filed ordinary procedure 664/2026-N before the Fourth Section of the Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the High Court of Justice of Catalonia, against Resolution PRE/212/2026, of January 28, calling for 31 selection processes for various bodies and scales of civil service personnel of the Generalitat de Catalunya. The School of Public Administration of Catalonia (EAPC) makes this announcement public in the Official Gazette of the Generalitat de Catalunya (DOGC) no. 9757, of September 23, 2026, with the official reference CVE-DOGC-A-26259096-2026. The publication serves as a summons to all persons who may be affected by the challenge.

A call for 31 processes under judicial review

The challenged resolution is Resolution PRE/212/2026, of January 28, which called for 31 selection processes corresponding to various bodies and scales of civil service personnel of the Generalitat de Catalunya. The call bears registration number 870.

The appeal has been filed before the Fourth Section of the Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the High Court of Justice of Catalonia, which is the competent body to resolve ordinary procedure 664/2026-N. The announcement does not detail the specific grounds for the challenge, but limits itself to making the existence of the procedure public and opening the process for appearance.

Nine-day deadline to appear

The EAPC publishes the announcement in compliance with articles 48, 49, and 50 of Law 29/1998, of July 13, regulating the contentious-administrative jurisdiction, in relation to articles 45.1.b), 45.3, and 45.4 of Law 39/2015, of October 1, on the common administrative procedure, and article 58 of Law 26/2010, of August 3, on the legal regime and procedure of the public administrations of Catalonia.

The purpose is to summon:

• Persons in whose favor rights had derived or may derive from the challenged act.
• Those who have a direct interest in the maintenance of the act.

These persons may appear and intervene in the proceedings as defendants, if they deem it appropriate, before the aforementioned High Court of Justice of Catalonia, within a period of nine days starting from the day after the publication of the announcement.

Signature and scope of the publication

The announcement was signed in Barcelona on September 15, 2026, by Just Cortès Arévalo, Deputy Director General of Selection, and is inserted in the announcements section of the Department of the Presidency of the DOGC.

The published text does not specify which of the 31 processes are affected nor the scope of the professional college’s claim, such that the available information is limited to the identification of the procedure, the challenged resolution, and the process open to interested parties.

The news has a direct impact on the applicants for the positions included in registration call 870, who now know that the selection process is subject to judicial control and that they have a period of nine days to decide whether to appear in the proceedings. For the Catalan public service as a whole, the case opens the door to a possible review of the call for 31 selective processes, a volume that affects several simultaneous calls from the School of Public Administration of Catalonia.
