Rianxo, sued by Occident GCO before the Santiago contentious-administrative court

The City Council of Rianxo has been sued by the entity Occident GCO, S.A.U. de Seguros y Reaseguros in the abbreviated procedure 0000269/2026, processed by the Court of First Instance, Contentious-Administrative Section, Praza nº 2 of Santiago de Compostela. The Official Gazette of the Province of A Coruña publishes this Thursday, October 22, 2026, in issue number 202, the announcement from the municipal Secretariat complying with the judicial resolution and summoning interested parties to appear in the proceedings within a period of nine days.

The announcement, with official reference 2026/6770, is inserted in the Local Administration section, Municipal heading, under the heading “Rianxo, Secretariat”. It indicates that the City Council received a requirement from the judicial body regarding the processing of the abbreviated procedure and that, while sending a copy of the challenged administrative file, the summoning of interested parties is being carried out.

The nine-day period and Article 49

The appearance period set in the announcement is nine days and is expressly based on Article 49 of Law 29/1998, of July 13, regulating the Contentious-Administrative Jurisdiction. This regulation governs the manner in which those who, without being plaintiffs or defendants, have a legitimate interest in the outcome of the process must be called to court.

The summons is the procedure that opens the door for these persons or entities to appear in the proceedings. Those who do not appear within the established period will not be able to intervene later in the proceedings, which will continue with the parties already appearing.

• Plaintiff: Occident GCO, S.A.U. de Seguros y Reaseguros.

What the announcement does not specify

The published text limits its content to compliance with the judicial resolution and the summons. It does not detail the specific administrative act being challenged, nor the amount of the claim, nor the facts at the origin of the litigation; it only refers generically to the “challenged administrative file”.

The procedure numbering, 0000269/2026, places its initiation in the current year 2026. Publication in the provincial gazette is the mechanism provided so that the summons reaches anyone who may have an interest, when personal notification is not possible or is not considered sufficient.

Relevance

The news directly affects the City Council of Rianxo, which must defend its actions before the contentious-administrative jurisdiction, and any neighbor, company, or collective that considers itself affected by the challenged proceedings. The latter have nine days from the date of publication to decide whether to appear in the procedure; if they do not, they will remain outside of a litigation that may condition the validity of the administrative act in question.
