Abstract

A brief analysis of the procedural regime for challenging administrative sanctions is presented, within the general framework of the dysfunctionalities presented by the inorganic and fragmented framework of the current Chilean Administrative Justice. The paper examines the problem of the faculties of the judge and the standard of review that should enable these special procedural mechanisms. The criticisms formulated by the specialized Chilean literature as well as the reference to the European Human Rights system that establishes the requirement of the Full Jurisdiction Resource as a specific device integrated in the guarantee of the equitable process are included as a parameter for this. Under this prism is advocated a broad and extensive role of the Courts called to prosecute the legality of the decisions of the Administration, in harmony with the constitutional principles of fair and rational procedure. The author questions whether the scattered contentious-administrative regime allows to reach that threshold of procedural requirements minimally compatible with the plenary standard in judicial review.
