Abstract

For too long there was a debate in our country about whether the ordinary courts of justice were competent to hear direct action aimed at obtaining their ruling on the legality of an administrative act. As is known, the introduction of art. 87 in the Political Constitution of 1925, which textually "programmed" the following: "There will be administrative courts, made up of permanent members, to resolve the claims that are filed against the arbitrary acts or provisions of the political or administrative authorities and whose knowledge is not handed over to other courts by the Constitution or the laws. Its organization and attributions are matters of law."
