BackOn February 27, 2026, a non-binding decision (Tesis: I.10o.A.60 A (11a.)) issued by the Tenth Collegiate Court in Administrative Matters of the First Circuit was published, holding unconstitutional PEMEX’s policy of refusing to enter into contracts with companies that have pending claims against it.
The case arose from a procurement process in which, although the contract had been awarded to a company, execution was conditioned upon a due diligence opinion that ultimately deemed the transaction “not viable” due to the existence of ongoing litigation against PEMEX. The Collegiate Court granted amparo relief to the claimant, finding that the restriction violated the constitutional principles of legality and legal certainty.
