Delays in cases coming to court are increasing, particularly along the Costa del Sol.
The courts in Málaga are taking as long as four years to hear the most simple of cases, according to a report in the Diario Sur newspaper today. The number is noted by the General Council for Judicial Power, the body which oversees the judiciary in Spain, which notes that things are particularly bad in Estepona, Marbella and Fuengirola.

The other side of the coin is in Antequera where cases are generally completed in some eight to ten months.

The Deacon of the Málaga Lawyers College, Manuel Camas, noted that the situation was worse than a year ago along the Costa del Sol, and that in his opinion, prove that resources in the province are seriously lacking.
