Judicial control in public tenders

The current growing demand for entry into public service, through the holding of public competitions, increasingly requires special attention from control agencies regarding the performance of the examining boards. This is due to the Constitutional State of Law, which enshrines not only constitutional norms, but mainly values and principles that are fundamental to the pursuit of the public administrative purpose. In this sense, the study addresses the limits and possibilities of judicial control over the actions of the boards of examiners of public competitions, with particular regard to their administrative merit. The proposal is to offer reflection on the performance of the boards of examiners, as well as on the role and objectives of judicial control, in favor of the pursuit of the guarantee of individual rights alongside the guiding principles of public administration.
