Standard, Economy and Language in the law of the economic crisis. Judicial review of administrative activity in the economy. Some Reflections

Abstract

The economic crisis has emphasized the interest of a juridical study of economic activity, opposed to the traditionally predominant role of the economists on the matter. Words used by the law of the crisis are not allways neutral, implying usually unclear values. This happens with words as “rationalization” or “sustainability”, which as their juridical evolution proofs, remain undeterminate concepts. Besides, as is shown on some decissions of the Constitutional Court, this unclear use of lenguage makes judicial control on economic activities quite difficult.
