Overview

• The Juzgado de lo contencioso-administrativo nº 14 de Madrid ruled that Alberto González Amador's renovations complied with regional urban planning law.
• The court determined the City Council erred in rejecting the modification of the declaración responsable, which is permitted under Madrid's Soil Law.
• The ruling, issued in March 2025, became final after the City Council chose not to appeal, a rare decision given its history of challenging unfavorable rulings.
• The City Council has been ordered to pay the legal costs of the case, though the specific amount has not been disclosed.
• Neither Isabel Díaz Ayuso nor Mayor José Luis Martínez-Almeida have commented publicly on the ruling, which has drawn scrutiny over political accountability in urban planning.
