Tribunal Superior de Justicia de la Comunidad Valenciana (TSJCV)

The Tribunal Superior de Justicia de la Comunidad Valenciana (TSJCV) is the highest court in the Valencian Community, Spain. It holds jurisdiction over various legal matters within the region. The TSJCV is currently newsworthy due to its recent decision regarding the investigation into the DANA (isolated high-altitude depression) event and its aftermath. Specifically, a judge sought to investigate the former President of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazón, in connection with the DANA case. However, the TSJCV declined to assume the investigation and rejected arguments to impute Mazón, instead ordering the case to be returned to the lower court in Catarroja. This decision has led the judge in Catarroja to now summon Mazón as a witness in the case. The TSJCV's role in determining the scope and direction of investigations involving high-profile figures and significant events underscores its importance in the Valencian legal system.
