The Court of Justice of the Balearic Islands (TSJB) has rejected the appeal filed by the Association of Business Users of Estany des Peix (AEUEP) against the order issued by the same chamber, 21 November, denying the injunction requested by AEUEP, including the requested suspension of the regulated anchoring at the lake.

The TSJB again recalls that "there is indisputable public interest in the immediate application" of rules "for the necessary preservation of the environment". The Court also signals that "environmental degradation constitutes serious and irreparable damage, so this general interest has preponderance over the private interests of the appellants".

The TSJB describes AEUEP's claim that "application of the new regulation has caused damage to the environment", as "devoid of any justification", and adds that "if the aim is to avoid indiscriminate anchoring, the regulations that have entered into force seek to do just that".
