President Claudia Sheinbaum will attend the first report delivered by the nine newly elected ministers of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) on Monday. ^[1] The Argentine Supreme Court issued rulings on August 27, 2026, in the cases of 'Establecimiento Las Marías SA' and 'Cannon Puntana SA' regarding provincial advance tax payments. ^[2] The Court established its original jurisdiction over the cases because the disputes involve constitutional provisions on free trade and internal customs prohibitions. ^[3] José Ramón Cossío Díaz, a retired minister of the Supreme Court of Justice of Venezuela, stated on 2026-09-03 that one year after the popular election of judges, the officials have failed to legitimize themselves. ^[4] Retired Supreme Court President Norma Piña warned on September 3, 2026, that the current legal environment poses significant risks to investment. ^[5] In the 'Las Marías' case, the Court found that advance tax payments on export revenues derived from activities in other provinces violate the free circulation of goods and interprovincial commerce. ^[6] The Court ruled that the provincial advance tax regime in the 'Cannon' case similarly affects the free circulation of goods and interprovincial commerce. ^[7] José Ramón Cossío Díaz reported on 2026-09-03 that only 10% of citizens registered on the Nominal List participated in the judicial election. ^[8] José Ramón Cossío Díaz stated on 2026-09-03 that the Supreme Court and the elected judges did not achieve legitimacy solely through the popular election. ^[9] José Ramón Cossío Díaz stated on 2026-09-03 that there is a backlog of 60% of cases pending resolution. ^[10] Norma Piña described her current outlook as ironic but pessimistic regarding the legal landscape for investors. ^[11]
