Class Law for Administrative Offences

The present curricular unit is justified in a doctoral course because it constitutes, at the present time, a sancionatory lawt present in practically all areas of intervention, namely in the economic, financial, competition, e.g. now, also, as an offense to prevent the phenomenon of corruption. Therefore, it is important to problematize its dogmatic categories, its added value compared to other rights and the need for its existence to be profoundly renewed.

1.- The nature of Administrative Sanctionatory Law

2.- The relevance of the Administrative Sanctionatory Law

2.3.- Consequences of a afirmative response

3.- Challenges of the Administrative Sanctionatory Law after the economic and financial crisis

3.1.- Critical-problematic analysis of some new administrative offenses, as well as their sanctioning regime

3.2.- New paths and new proposals for the Administrative Sanctionatory Law
