Resumen
Este trabajo hace un estudio del proceso administrativo sancionador, respecto al cual no
se ha estipulado expresamente en la ley un término para la evacuación de la prueba,
situación que llega afectar el correcto desarrollo del procedimiento, sin perjuicio de que
impide al incoado la posibilidad de alegar la caducidad, aun en los casos en que este
trámite se extiende por inacción de la autoridad. Se realizó una investigación cualicuantitativa, aplicando las técnicas de la observación, la entrevista y la revisión de
expedientes, las cuales generaron resultados congruentes con la teoría jurídica revisada.
Se plantea una propuesta de reforma del inciso segundo del Art. 256 del Código Orgánico
Administrativo y la expedición de su Reglamento, con el objeto de subsanar el vacío legal
mencionado e impedir que el incoado quede en indefensión, puesto que, actualmente, la
duración de evacuación probatoria en el proceso administrativo sancionador queda a la
discrecionalidad de la autoridad.
The main problem of this study lies in determining what is the term of evacuation of the evidence within the sanctioning administrative process, since the legislator has not expressly considered a term foreseen for this diligence, a situation that affects the correct development of the procedure. A qualitative-quantitative investigation was carried out, in addition the methods were used: analytical, deductive, inductive and systematic, through three techniques such as observation, interview and review of files, thus determining the main problems arising from the absence of an established period. for the end of the evidentiary stage. A proposal is made to reform the second paragraph of Art. 256 of the Organic Administrative Code and the issuance of its Regulations, to correct the legal vacuum under study. It is concluded that the aforementioned procedural vacuum leaves the accused defenseless, since the duration of probation in the sanctioning administrative process is at the discretion of the authority.
