The company said it would appeal the ruling.
“The company will postpone the scheduled bullfights and novilladas and will continue with legal defense of Mexican customs and traditions, to the full extent the law allows,” Plaza Mexico said in a statement.
However, a higher court has already rejected one appeal against the ruling. Further hearings must be held on whether to uphold the ban, or make it permanent.
The judge originally decreed a temporary ban in May, based on complaints that bullfights violated resident’s rights to a healthy environment free from violence.
Bull fights had been scheduled at the city’s main professional ring in July and September, according to previous announcements.
The decision threatens to mark the end of almost 500 years of bullfighting in Mexico.
