In 2016, Legislative Decree No. 1272 was published, which amended the General Administrative Procedure Law, Law No. 27444 (hereinafter referred to as the “LPAG“). Among its modifications, the concept of voluntary rectification, which was previously categorized as a mitigating factor of responsibility, changed to be configured as an exemption of administrative responsibility within the framework of an administrative sanctioning procedure. In this regard, individuals, with knowledge of having committed an administrative offense, may rectify their actions and approach the competent administrative authority to be exempted from responsibility, and consequently, from a penalty, provided that the literal f) of Article 257 of the LPAG is met. This modification was a novelty in Peruvian administrative sanctioning law; therefore, in practice, various forms of application were observed by public administration or even the non-application of voluntary rectification. This situation arises because the term “rectification“ and its purpose have diverse interpretations. However, after approximately seven years, the Supreme Court, through Cassation No. 8716-2022 LIMA, sheds light on this situation by providing a necessary clarification on the purpose of voluntary rectification and dismissing a series of arguments raised by Peruvian doctrine and jurisprudence. In this context, in this paper, we will analyze academic articles, books, research papers, and jurisprudence to demonstrate that public administration, as in the case of Indecopi, incorrectly applies voluntary rectification, thereby violating principles of the administrative procedure such as procedural good faith, predictability, and legality.
