Supreme court validates expansion of santa cruz court

Argentina's Supreme Court has declared valid the law expanding the Santa Cruz high court to nine members. The ruling backs appointments promoted by Governor Claudio Vidal.

Argentina's Supreme Court, with votes from Horacio Rosatti, Carlos Rosenkrantz and Ricardo Lorenzetti, ordered the Santa Cruz high court to integrate immediately with nine judges. The measure follows approval of law 3949 by the provincial legislature last August.

Governor Claudio Vidal had sent four shortlists that led to the appointments of Sergio Acevedo, José Antonio González Nora, Juan Lucio Ramón de la Vega and Gabriel Nolasco Contreras Agüero. These magistrates had already assumed duties after swearing in before Daniel Mariani.

Four previous provincial judges had nullified the new posts following an action filed by the Judicial Employees Union Association. The Supreme Court accepted the appeal by the appointees and restored full validity to the law.
