Former President of the Generalitat Jordi Pujol has been admitted to the Sagrada Família Clinic in Barcelona for pneumonia .

In this situation, the National High Court will have to assess his state of health in order to determine whether or not he can attend the trial.

It was precisely Pujol's own legal team that asked the National High Court to assess his ability to be tried.
