This article written in March 2017 might go some way to explain the background and why it is necessary to make a claim. (appeal), but it goes on to suggest that in some instances it might not be worth appealing.

In your instance if the claim is for 4000 euros then it sounds as though it might be worthwhile.
I must admit however that it does appear extraordinary that a Constitutional Court ruling can be allowed to be overlooked in this manner by local Governments and that the only way to achieve “ justice” is via an appeal.
The article identified that back in March 2017 there were 500,000 vendors affected, so you can only imagine what impact this would have on the already overstretched court system in Spain. :(
Or perhaps it doesn’t need to go to court? I wonder if Maria could clarify?
