The courts of the province of Girona closed 2025 with 73,444 proceedings in process, a figure slightly lower than that recorded a year earlier, when there were 74,225 pending cases. The data arrives in a year in which the Girona judicial bodies raised their response capacity and resolved more cases than in 2024.
More issues resolved and improvement of the indicators
During 2025, the judicial bodies of Girona resolved 126,589 cases, which represents an increase of 7.7% compared to the 117,548 of the previous year. This evolution also extended to the main operating indicators. The global resolution rate went from 0.95 to 1.01, while the pendency rate dropped from 0.63 to 0.58.
The general photograph, therefore, leaves a still high workload, but with an improvement in the response of the judicial system in the demarcation. Also decreased the volume of pending sentence executions, which at the close of the year stood at 58,532 procedures compared to the 59,637 counted at the end of 2024.
The civil jurisdiction notably reduces the bag of matters
The clearest decrease occurred in the civil jurisdiction. Pending cases went from 41,493 to 36,275 at the close of 2025, which represents a reduction of 12.6%. It is the most notable decrease among the different jurisdictions and contributes decisively to the slight reduction in the total volume of pending proceedings in Girona.
In the area of executions, a reduction was also registered in civil. Pending procedures closed the year at 47,625, below the 48,337 that there were at the end of 2024.
Pending matters rise in criminal, social and contentious
The evolution was not homogeneous across all jurisdictional orders. In criminal, pending cases increased from 28,264 to 32,449 at the end of 2025, which represents an increase of 14.8%. Procedures also grew in the social jurisdiction, which went from 3,435 to 3,580, and in the contentious-administrative, where they rose from 1,033 to 1,140.
Despite that increase in the backlog of criminal matters, pending executions in this jurisdiction decreased during the year. They went from 10,777 to 10,490. In social (matters), executions also decreased, with 335 procedures at the close of 2025 compared to the 443 registered a year earlier.
The 2025 balance in the Girona courts thus leaves a double reading. On the one hand, a global improvement in resolution capacity and a reduction in the total number of procedures in process. On the other, upward pressure in jurisdictions such as criminal, social, and contentious-administrative, which continue to concentrate part of the increase in the pending caseload in the province.
