The violation of the limits of regulatory power in Ecuador

Abstract

This paper aims to expose the limits of the regulatory authority of the Administration and determine if these are applied in Ecuador. To do this, I briefly outlined what regulation is and the nature of regulatory power. Subsequently, I have analyzed, by means of examples, the violation within the Ecuadorian legal system to several limits of this power as the jurisdiction, normative hierarchy and reservation of law. In this way, I argue that these infringements can be sometimes irrelevant, and sometimes transcendental to provoke the violation of general principles of Administrative Law.
