The Chamber of Construction, College of Architects, and the Council of Real Estate Developers is studying a proposal for taking CONAVI (National Roadways Council) and the Finance Ministry to court. The case would be based on the fact that CONAVI takes over 1 year to award contracts for projects that are approved.  The Finance Ministry has withheld tax money specifically collected for CONAVI, despite a decision by the Supreme Court ordering it to release the funds. The developers believe that the state of the road network is a national emergency, and most Costa Ricans would agree.
