It also takes due account of methodological, procedural, technical and administrative issues that enlarge the legal system crisis, as e.g. the collapse of the Supreme Court, because of absence of a law that regulates the specialized jurisdiction of the administrative claims, which generated the present procedural/competence disorder.
