Abstract

The Constitutional Court’s judgment 162/2016 (The First Chamber), of October 3, 2016, has consolidated and clariied the Constitutional Court’s judgment 66/2014. It is a judgment of special constitutional signiicance, according to art. 50.1 Organic Law of the Constitutional Court. It denounces the violation of the right not to suffer discrimination because of sex, on the base of the art. 14 Spanish Constitution. There are annulled administrative and judicial discriminatory resolutions. These resolutions were denying economic rights and professionals inherent in the appointment as Judge to whom it could not take possession of the square because of enjoying a permission of pregnancy. According to the Constitutional Court, these rights must be considered to be acquired from the date in which the woman it could have taken possession of these permissions or licenses do not happen. It is a step in the royal or material equality as consequence of the application of the EU acquis.
