The present investigation contains the study of two legal tools that the Peruvian State uses in the contractual relationship that it maintains with the concessionaires that participate in the transport infrastructure market for public use. These tools are penalties and administrative sanctions. The first ones have a civil nature and seek to ensure the compliance of an obligation; and the second ones have an administrative nature and have a punitive role when exist a transgression of the normative rules. Therefore, although both of them discourage contractual breaches in which the concessionaires could incur, penalties and administrative sanctions must be processed in their respective procedures. However, in the public transport infrastructure sector, conceptual confusion has arisen because a special procedure has been created to apply the penalties, which is far from the civil legal nature of penalties and, conversely, brings them closer to the scope of sanctioning administrative law. As it has happened, the Supervisory Organism of Investment in Public Transport Infrastructure (OSITRAN) has issued a Directive that creates an administrative procedure to impose penalties, as if these were administrative fines. The aforementioned situation affects the integrity of the concession contracts, as it leaves the dispute resolution clause without effect, taking the disputes to court as a last resort. This generates three potential problems: uncertainty and regulatory risk, increase in contractual costs and inefficiency of the compliance system. In this context, the thesis broaches the analysis of penalties and administrative sanctions, considering what is established in the regulatory framework and the criteria exposed by OSITRAN, in order to clarify that they are figures that require an application procedure according to their legal nature. At the same time, it shows that the problem is caused by the unnecessary confluence of both of them, having been assigned for the same type of noncompliance in the concession contracts. In our study, it is concluded that OSITRAN lacks legal competence to regulate a penalty application procedure. Likewise, it is visible that the conceptual confusion involves the Ministry of Transport and Communications, and the Agency for the Promotion of Private Investment for having included, in concession contracts, a penalty regime that suffers from the aforementioned shortcomings. Therefore, in this investigation the penalties regime is analyzed in order to identify the breaches that should only be subject to penalties and not administrative sanctions. Finally, as the final purpose of the thesis, the idea of improving the procedure established in the Directive is proposed, harmonizing it with the dispute resolution mechanism agreed by the parties, making use of the responsive regulation; and some Guidelines are prepared for the formulation of a clause that regulates the penalties regime in concession contracts that are going to be subscribed in the future or that form part of the contractual modifications to be inserted in investment projects that require it.
