  Bankruptcy: the trustee defends assets of the bankruptcy estate

  SCJN, Full Court, ADR 486/2024, session of October 27, 2026. A bankrupt company retains access to justice and may directly defend assets outside the bankruptcy estate and assist the trustee; the Full Court considered that the authorization under Article 192 of the Commercial Bankruptcy Law also applies in other proceedings concerning estate assets.

  What it means for your company: Review who has standing before filing constitutional challenges or other defenses in bankruptcy proceedings.

  Based on press reports; the written judgment is pending.

  Shareholders may seek court-ordered disclosure of books and accounts without a prior hearing

  SCJN, Full Court, AR 129/2026, June 16, 2026. The pre-action procedures under Articles 1151(IV) and 1156 of the Commercial Code do not violate the right to a hearing; the shareholder must state the grounds and the intended proceedings and establish their shareholder status.

  What it means for your company: Keep minutes, books and reports in order; they may be used in shareholder disputes.

  Mexico City lease registry: only four data points

  SCJN, Full Court, AR 546/2025 (2026). The digital registry of residential leases is constitutional if it collects only the rent amount, agreed increase, neighborhood and borough—not the parties’ names, guarantees or lease term.

  What it means for your company: If you lease housing in Mexico City, register only the necessary information.
