In August 2022, Rusconi & Sauza filed an indirect injunction against the Head of Government and the Ministry of the Environment of Mexico City. This action responded to the lack of compliance with a mandate established in the Urban Garden Law of Mexico City, published on December 31, 2020 in the Official Gazette. The law required the relevant authorities to draft and issue, within a period of no more than 180 calendar days, the regulations and technical guidelines for the care and management of urban gardens, including the selection of species and urban agriculture practices. These guidelines were fundamental for the effective implementation of the law, but had not been published until the date of the amparo filing.
The resolution of this case came on December 21, 2022, when Rusconi & Sauza won the indirect protection. This decision was confirmed on April 19, 2023 after a review. As a consequence of this judicial resolution, on April 14, 2023, the "DECREE WHICH IS ISSUING THE REGULATION OF THE URBAN GARDEN LAW OF MEXICO CITY" was finally published in the Official Gazette of Mexico City. This publication represented an important advance for the execution of the Urban Garden Law, allowing its practical application and promoting urban agriculture in the city.
