The amparo lawsuit protects people against government actions that violate their human rights or constitutional guarantees. It can be filed against laws, administrative rulings, judgments and other acts.
Indirect and direct amparo
Indirect amparo is filed before a District Judge, for example against a closure order or a law. Direct amparo is filed against final judgments and is decided by a Collegiate Court.
The suspension
One of its advantages is the suspension, which temporarily stops the effects of the act while the case is decided. In urgent matters it can be decisive.
Deadlines matter
The general deadline to file is 15 business days, with exceptions. Consulting in time is essential.
