Hinojosa del Duque, summoned over an appeal regarding night shifts and holidays

The Administrative Litigation Court of the Córdoba Plaza No. 1 Court of First Instance is processing abbreviated procedure 225/2026, an appeal filed against the dismissal by administrative silence of the Hinojosa del Duque City Council regarding a personnel claim. The object of the litigation is the pay differences for night shift, weekend, and holiday supplements. The official communication is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Córdoba No. 216, dated November 9, 2026, under reference BOP-A-2026-3663.

The legal framework of the summons

The announcement is issued “pursuant to the provisions of Article 49.1 of Law 29/1998, of July 13, regulating the Administrative Litigation Jurisdiction,” a provision that requires the publication of appeals affecting a plurality of interested parties. The Hinojosa council makes the process public “for general knowledge,” so that any person with a legitimate interest in the matter may appear in the proceedings.

The document was signed in Hinojosa del Duque on October 28, 2026, by the mayor, Matías González López, and is inserted in the Local Administration section of the provincial gazette, on page 15971 of the issue.

Nine days to appear

The publication activates a brief procedural calendar, which is counted from the day of the announcement’s appearance in the gazette:

• Deadline: nine days from the publication of the communication.
• Required action: appear and present oneself at the court where the file is being processed.
• Requirements: with a lawyer and court representative (procurador), as applicable.
• Body before which to act: Administrative Litigation Court of the Córdoba Plaza No. 1 Court of First Instance.
• Procedure: abbreviated 225/2026.

The text does not detail the number of affected employees nor the economic amount of the claim, data which do not appear in the published announcement.

Who is who in the lawsuit

The announcement allows for the precise identification of the parties and the object of the conflict:

• Appellant: Sergio Castillo Cárdenas, who filed the appeal.
• Defendant Administration: Hinojosa del Duque City Council.
• Challenged action: dismissal by administrative silence in a personnel claim.
• Subject matter: pay differences for night shift, weekend, and holiday supplements.
• Publication: Official Gazette of the Province of Córdoba No. 216, dated November 9, 2026, p. 15971, reference BOP-A-2026-3663.

The designation of the judicial body refers to the structure created after the implementation of the courts of first instance, hence the reference to the “Córdoba Plaza No. 1 Court of First Instance” instead of the former single headquarters.

Impact on staff and city council

The litigation affects a remunerative concept of general application across municipal staff—the night shift supplement and compensation for work on weekends and holidays—meaning the judicial decision may extend to more employees than the initial claimants. The public summons allows any worker of the Hinojosa del Duque City Council who considers themselves to be in the same situation to appear and defend their interests before the procedure advances. The City Council, for its part, is summoned as the defendant administration in a personnel matter with a potential economic effect on municipal coffers.
