| dc.description.abstract | As a result of the implementation of the Administrative Organic Code in Ecuador, a series of
changes in the administrative procedural law were unleashed. One of them was the integration of
the Administrative Sanctioning Procedure, as an instrument for the exercise of the sanctioning
power within the framework of the external legal relationship of the Public Administration.
However, unlike most of the topics brought by the referred norm, the mentioned procedure has not
been the object of a complete and deep study, but rather, it has been somewhat ignored and even
thrown to the background. For this reason, the current work has focused on building a specialized
and more complete analysis of the Administrative Sanctioning Procedure, as well as of certain
deficiencies and problems of its regulation in the Organic Administrative Code. For this purpose,
a methodology with three approaches has been used: qualitative, in the collection of information
from various legal sources; deductive, for the description and interpretation of the information
collected, and for the creation of a conceptual and doctrinal basis of the Administrative Penalty
Procedure and its main legal institutions; and finally, an analytical approach, used in the
specialized examination of each of the aspects of the Administrative Penalty Procedure, and
likewise, in the identification, analysis, and suggestion of potential solutions, of the deficiencies
and problems of the current regulation. All this with the aim of contributing to improve the
regulation of the administrative sanctioning power and the instrument for its exercise, the
Administrative Sanctioning Procedure | |
