Reliability notes
Majority ruling of the full court (pleno) of 20 September 2024, with nullifying effect because the reforms violated entrenched ('pétreo') constitutional articles; it took effect on publication in La Gaceta. No official docket number or court-hosted text was found; the URL is El Heraldo's report of the ruling, which embeds the Poder Judicial's announcement.
