It is a revisitation of the theory of administrative silence, this time approached from the point of view of the omission in the exercise of regulatory power and the details of its analysis focus on social, political, philosophical and historical aspects that contributed to the consolidation of three important instruments that permeate the performance of public administration, namely, normative or regulatory power, the attribute of the presumption of legitimacy and the principle of legality or juridicity, as well as the reckless consequences of their distortion, especially when interconnected by specific legal relationships.
From this perspective, we analyze the circumstances related to the corollaries of objective good faith and legitimate trust in the combination of those that are a power, a principle and an attribute, related to Administrative Law, as well as the aspects that were conferred on them throughout the years. times and the legal and social consequences, establishing a link of cause and effect.
Thus, we seek to understand the details of the denial of a right by the public manager to the administered, whose proper regulation did not exist on the part of the administration and which denies it on the grounds of release due to normative absence and such conduct appears presumably legitimate.
