A federal court has ruled that Alonso Ancira Elizondo's labor lawsuit against Altos Hornos de México (AHMSA) regarding his claims for payments after his separation from the steel company will not be resolved in Mexico City. The court determined the capital's tribunals are not competent to handle the case. This ruling halts Ancira's legal strategy of having the trial take place in Mexico City based on the argument that corporate offices related to his contract are located there.

The resolution, recorded as case file 77/2024, reflects the judicial authorities' decision, which includes a review of the presented evidence. Consequently, the Ninth Federal Labor Court in Mexico City has declared itself incompetent and has ordered the case to be referred to a court in Saltillo, Coahuila, where the proceedings must continue. This marks a significant shift in the handling of Ancira's claims as he navigates the complexities of labor law.

This ruling could have implications for other labor-related litigations, as it underscores the jurisdictional boundaries that can affect where cases are processed. It also reinforces the decision-making power of federal courts in determining the venues for labor disputes, which could influence future claims made by former employees of companies in similar situations. The outcome of Ancira's case in Coahuila may set a precedent for how labor disputes are managed in the context of jurisdictional challenges.
