Built without appropriate permission in 2002 the Court administered a 600,000 euros fine. But just last week the court was turned upon its head when the Division of Administrative Justice (TS) overturned its decision, duly annulling the massive fine imposed by the Junta de Andalucía. The developer, General Stores SA, first built the retail park despite an unfavorable report from the Ministry Economy and Finance. At the time the offense was classified as very serious in the Interior Trade Act of Andalusia. So began the process of sanction for an amount of 601,000 euros, about a hundred million pesetas. When the centre was first opened the Regional Administration made a number of site visits, but as the works were only completed to between 70 and 80 percent the Board initiated the fine. The intervening years has seen the developer of the mall continue with his opposition to the fine. Ten years after it was first awarded his actions have now been endorsed and the censure over turned.
