The First Circuit Court in Baja California Sur granted a suspension in favor of Grupo Vidanta regarding the opening of the coastal road initiated by the Baja California Sur government in San José del Cabo through Governor Víctor Castro Cosío, along with the second councilwoman of the Los Cabos City Council, the head of the Public Security Secretariat, the State Highway Board, and other authorities.
The company, affected on April 9, considered the actions of the aforementioned authorities to be illegal after they invaded the complainant’s private property without a written, substantiated, and reasoned warrant issued by a competent authority, under the pretext of recovering a coastal road and opening the private right-of-way to the general public.
According to initial information obtained by El Informante Baja California Sur, Turismo Itze de SA, a company belonging to Grupo Vidanta, through its legal representative Juan Aguado Merlo, filed a direct amparo lawsuit, which was granted amparo number 605/2025 against the actions taken.
This injunction was filed with the Third Mixed Court of the Federal Judicial Branch in Baja California Sur (BCS). There, the judge denied the suspension of the action, so the legal representative of Turismo Itze de SA filed a complaint. The appeal was filed with the First Circuit Court of BCS. The magistrates resolved the complaint and granted the suspension to Turismo Itze de SA. This was notified to the Third District Judge on May 22nd. With this, Grupo Vidanta regains security on the road that was arbitrarily opened by authorities from various levels of government.
A suspension is understood to be a precautionary measure that allows the execution of the challenged action to be halted while the merits of the lawsuit are resolved. Its purpose is to protect the rights of the complainant, in this case Vidanta, and prevent irreparable damage from occurring before the final judgment is issued.
Although a final ruling is still awaited, the clear grounds for granting beach access must be based on judicial rather than social grounds. In other words, it’s not enough for the people to demand certain actions from their governments, as the courts will be responsible for rejecting actions taken without legal basis.
