The Communicability of Administrative Sanctioning Processes

This work was motivated by the need to face a common (and little mentioned) problem in the Brazilian reality: the multiplicity of punitive spheres within the Public Administration. Given the large number of legal norms, it is common for the legislator not to foresee the interaction of the new norm with institutes already existing in the legal system. However, the harmonization of all rules and institutes, especially in the field of sanctioning law, is fundamental to the proper functioning of the system in order to avoid inconsistent and/or conflicting decisions. In this context, this book offers proposals to articulate and communicate, through institutes provided for in the Brazilian legal system, related administrative sanctioning proceedings, highlighting the importance of a system of coherent and harmonious legal prescriptions.
