Administrative supervision and voluntary remediation: a tool to promote regulatory compliance or a figure limited by the administration?

Abstract

This article examines the concept of voluntary remediation as an exemption from liability in the administrative sanctioning procedure, highlighting its connection with the preventive and corrective approach to oversight provided for in the Consolidated Text of the Law 27444, General Administrative Procedure Law, approved by Supreme Decree 004-2019-JUS.
It questions the restrictive interpretation adopted by various administrative entities which, through unilateral requirements, distort the corrective purpose of correction. Through a normative, jurisprudential, and economic analysis, the authors argue that this legal concept must be applied in a manner consistent with the principles of regulatory compliance and administrative efficiency, promoting early correction rather than sanctioning.
