Resumen
El acceso a la justicia cautelar en los procedimientos contencioso-administrativos es una exigencia constitucional derivada del derecho a una tutela judicial efectiva. Junto a la adopción de medidas cautelares, y como una especialidad dentro de ellas, el legislador español ha previsto la existencia de medidas cautelarísimas. El primer elemento de juicio con el que contaron los jueces españoles para la adopción de medidas cautelares fue el criterio del periculum in mora, al que vino a sumarse, por influencia del Derecho comunitario, el criterio del fumus boni iuris. La aparición de este último suponía, en principio, una ampliación del acceso a la justicia cautelar para los ciudadanos. No obstante, algunas decisiones judiciales recientes, aquí comentadas, parecen aplicar el criterio del fumus boni iuris como argumento contrario a las pretensiones de los ciudadanos.
Keywords

Abstract
The right to obtain interim measures (medidas cautelares) granted by judges in cases of
judicial review of administrative acts is a constitutional requirement stemming from the
right to an effective judicial protection. Moreover, Spanish lawmakers have provided for a
special kind of interim measures granted inaudita parte (medidas cautelarísimas). The first
and only criterium that Spanish administrative judges applied to grant (or deny) interim
measures was the periculum in mora. However, as an influence of the European
Community law, also the fumus boni iuris criterium has been taken into account. The
enforcement of this last criterium in the Spanish legal order was considered as a benefit for
the citizens, since it would certainly lead the judges into granting the requested interim
measures. Some recent court decisions hereby analyzed, however, have apparently used the
fumus boni iuris to turn down citizens demands.
