General and special mechanisms of administrative review of sanctions

Abstract

This article is intended to account for the administrative mechanisms that exist for the review of administrative sanctions. The central hypothesis of the investigation states that notwithstanding the full validity of the principle of legality in disciplinary administrative matters, a sanction will not always produce its legal effects, and may therefore not be executed. In this work it has been possible to determine that in the matter of administrative sanctions it is possible to apply the general mechanisms of ex officio review of administrative acts as well as certain special mechanisms in reference sectors arranged for review of sanctioning acts, which although have Various legal bases, in general, result in the extinction of the administrative sanction imposed, either definitively or by replacing it with a different administrative act.
