Latest AIMA lawsuit stats…
As of January 7th [2026], approximately 124,793 [AIMA] cases were pending at the Lisbon Administrative Court , a situation that the CSTAF (Superior Council of Administrative and Fiscal Courts) considers “critical” and “without an immediate solution through legislation or executive means.”
“The resolution now approved provides for the opening of an urgent national competition for the temporary accumulation of judicial functions, under the Regulation of Mobility and Procedural Management Instruments . Fifty positions will be made available, for an initial period of three months, renewable once for an equal period, with the definition of monthly decision-making objectives, objective selection criteria and performance monitoring mechanisms ,” they announced.
Also (rest is behind a paywall)…
Lawsuits against AIMA drop 78% after law change. But there are still thousands.
There are still more than 100,000 cases, which forced the court to open an extraordinary competition for judges. This Thursday [26-Feb, 2026], Parliament will discuss a proposal from the Liberal Initiative (IL) to decentralize the cases, which are currently all in Lisbon. However, the solution to the problem is for AIMA to function properly.
