Also, the second additional provision to the Regulation on the Organization and Personnel of the Constitutional Court, in its wording given by the Plenary Agreement of 23 July 2015, provides the following:

  • 1. Judges of the Constitutional Court having served a minimum of three years shall be entitled to a one-year transitional allowance equivalent to that accruing to them on leaving office. This allowance shall also include those periods of three years that have been acknowledged during their time in office.
  • 2. The outgoing Judge may choose between receiving the transitional allowance in whole or in instalments, at his or her request.
  • 3. In case of death, the transitional allowance shall be equally transmitted to his or her spouse and children with the same extent, scope and content.
  • 4. For the purposes of the first additional provision of Law 3/2015, of 30 March, the members of the Constitutional Court who choose to receive a compensatory benefit or a transitional allowance after leaving office, may only exercise public or private activities after having waived their right to receive any remuneration or consideration, without prejudice to any legally compatible activities.

In accordance with the aforementioned rules, the monthly payments corresponding to the transitional allowance of H.E. Mr. Fernando Valdés Dal-Ré will be granted from the month of November 2020, with effect from the date he left office, i.e. 16 October 2020.
