Abstract

This article makes a critical analysis of the Solicitor of the Treasury’s doctrine -held since 2002- concerning the unconstitutionality of the article 38 of the Public Employment Act which establishes that administrative summaries must be conducted within six months. It is not intended to defend the reasonableness of that period, but to demonstrate that the Solicitor of the Treasury’s decisions regarding this issue suffer from several shortcomings which make its subsequent decisions invalid. One of the main assumptions of this interpretation will be specially refuted: the fact that the executive power has the ability to not to fulfill a Law because it is considered as unconstitutional.
