Argentina (AR) — civil law.
Nothing on this page describes United States practice. There is no certificate sold to an investor, no administrative sale, and no post-sale redemption window in Argentina. If you arrived carrying US assumptions, read falsos-amigos first.
Acordada 15/2025 — Reglamento de Subastas Electrónicas Judiciales
The single most consequential recent change to Argentine judicial auction practice.

Scope limit — read this before applying it anywhere.
Acordada 15/25 binds national and federal courts seated in CABA. It does not bind provincial courts. A
subastaordered by a provincial civil court in Córdoba or Mendoza follows that province’s own rules and its own portal. Assuming national reach is the most likely error a reader will make with this page.
What the reglamento does
- The auction act is electronic. The
subastabegins automatically when the link is enabled at the appointed day and hour, and admittedpostoresbid through the portal. - No physical attendance. Bidders are relieved of appearing in person, which opens participation to anyone in the country rather than whoever can reach the courtroom.
- Bidder anonymity. Bids are anonymised through an automatic data-crossing mechanism to which only the intervening judicial authority has access. Bidders therefore cannot see who they are bidding against.
- Public visibility. Listings are published openly and the auction can be followed in real time, which is the transparency rationale the Court gave for the reform.
Why anonymity is the point
Argentina’s in-person remate had a long-standing problem with ligas de compradores —
informal pools that suppressed bidding at the public act. Anonymised electronic bidding
attacks that directly: a pool cannot enforce discipline over members it cannot identify,
and cannot verify that a co-conspirator actually withheld a bid.
Uptake
In the first three months of operation the system processed 301 auctions across 186 cases. A CSJN communication in June 2026 described the model as consolidated.
Relationship to the provincial portals
Buenos Aires Province got there first: the SCBA has run `subastas.scba.gov.ar` since 2014, made compulsory department by department from 1 October 2015. Córdoba runs `subastas.justiciacordoba.gob.ar`. The national portal is therefore a late arrival to an already-established provincial practice, not the origin of electronic auctions in Argentina.
What it does not change
The reglamento governs how the auction act happens. It does not change the base, the
seña, the comisión, what debts survive the sale, the auto de aprobación, or the
remanente waterfall. Those remain matters of the CPCCN and substantive law.
