This article provides an overview of the federal administrative justice system in Argentina.
It begins with an explanation of how the power to enact procedural law and to organize
administrative courts is distributed between the federal state and the local states. It then
describes the core constitutional and statutory principles and structures of administrative
jurisdiction and the courts, and discusses the lack of a general special procedure to
deal with actions involving the federal state and federal subject matter issues (except
for interim measures and ‘amparo’ proceedings). The article goes on to provide an
explanation of what is currently happening regarding class actions within this context,
and it ends with remarks by the author on some provisional conclusions.
Keywords: administrative justice; Argentina; class actions; provisional measures against
the state; federal jurisdiction; ‘Amparo’ proceeding.
