28 judges assigned to process AIMA case backlog
The Superior Council of Administrative and Tax Courts (CSTAF) has appointed 28 judges in an accumulation regime to handle urgent cases linked to the Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum (AIMA), where nearly 130,000 files are pending and only 28 of 50 available judge slots were filled. The measures aim to speed decisions concentrated at the Lisbon Administrative Court but signal continued delays for many immigration and asylum appeals. Those with pending AIMA files should expect long processing times and monitor court communications or legal counsel for case-specific updates.
