THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE DISCIPLINARY PROCESS

Abstract

The need to provide the defendant with legal certainty in the disciplinary process, as well as the clarity required by the element of instruction, make the statute of limitation not only a defense, but a legal figure of profound importance, which is repeatedly ignored or set aside, since it is intended to resolve the existing conflict by means of the contradictory. Therefore, the analysis of this figure becomes necessary, emphasizing the generalities that remain through the different sanctioning regimes and highlighting the peculiarities present in special laws.
