CONTENTS

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK:

The lawsuit is the document through which a legal process is initiated, in which
the parties (defendant and plaintiff) will face each other.
It is the first procedural legal act that serves as a vehicle of the pretension
addressed to the jurisdictional organ, in the procedural legislation. A lawsuit is a
written petition formulated before a court of justice and also the written means
through which the plaintiff states some facts and reasons his claims against the
defendant, before a court, thus initiating a civil proceeding, in a broad sense
(civil, family, commercial, labor, contentious-administrative, etc.), constituting
the first act that initiates the procedural relationship.

DOCTRINE:

Hugo Alsina comments that the lawsuit is considered a skillful means to


exercise the right of action, this being the common way of exercising the right.
In most systems it must be written, although exceptionally it may be verbal, in
some oral proceedings.

Sergio Alfaro defines it as: A document whose presentation to the authority


(judge or arbitrator) has the purpose of obtaining the initiation of a proceeding to
substantiate in it, as many processes as the plaintiff has claims to be satisfied
by a person other than the authority.

Once filed before the competent court, the lawsuit must be accepted for
processing, by means of a resolution, and the defendant must be summoned
(that is, notified and given a term to answer the lawsuit).

According to our Honduran Code of Civil Procedure, all judicial proceedings


shall commence by means of a written complaint, in which the plaintiff shall file
the claim.
And in the demand shall be expressed, at least:
a) The precise designation of the court before which the action is brought and,
in the sum of the pleading, the indication of the procedural route that
corresponds to the claim.
b) The name of the claimant, his identity data and domiciliary address.
(c) The name and home or office address of the legal professional of the
The plaintiff, stating the fax number or the technical means that allows him to
receive direct communications from the court.
d) The name of the defendant and his domicile, if known, if any other address is
known
The provisions of this Code shall not be applicable;

4
e) The facts on which the petition is based, set forth in numerical form, in the
following order
precise, orderly and clear.
f) The legal basis of the petition.
g) The request formulated, clearly and specifically stating what is requested,
indicating the value of the claim. When there are several requests, the
The latter shall be expressed with due separation. The petitions formulated in
the alternative, in the event that the main petitions are rejected, shall be made
in the following cases
The following are listed in their order and separately.
h) The offer of the pertinent means of evidence to prove each of the following
the facts that are in dispute.
(i) The place and date of filing and the signature of the claimant or the
claimant's representative or
proxy.
j) The accompanying annexes.

EFFECTS OF THE CLAIM:

1. From the filing of the claim, if it is admitted, the


lis pendens.
2. Lis pendens interrupts the statute of limitations, unless the plaintiff withdraws
the claim.
the lawsuit, abandon the proceeding or dismiss the case at any stage of the
proceedings, or
resource.

WITH RESPECT TO THE COURT:


It produces several obligations for the court, basically, to hear the arguments of
the litigants, process their submissions and resolve the case, generating the so-
called principle of inexcusability. That it is the procedural act that opens the
instance and determines the competence, given that the competence is
determined by the nature of the demanded pretension, and on the basis of the
facts exposed in the demand and the adduced right; independently of the
answer of the defendant and, therefore, without taking into account the
defenses used in the answer; with abstraction of the justice that could assist the
interested party.

WITH RESPECT TO THE PLAINTIFF:


It cannot initiate a new lawsuit against the defendant, on the same subject
matter, since in such a situation the defendant has the right to oppose by
alleging lis pendens (pending litigation).

WITH RESPECT TO THE DEFENDANT:

5
It generates the procedural burden of appearing in court to defend himself,
otherwise the trial may be conducted in absentia.

SUBSTANTIAL EFFECTS
 It constitutes the debtor in default.
 Interrupts the running of the statute of limitations.
 The notification of the lawsuit interrupts the course of the statute of
limitations even if it is filed before an incompetent judge or, even if it is null
and void due to a formal defect. It prevents the extinction of rights subject to
expiration terms. Determines that the claimant has chosen one of the
alternative benefits if such a choice exists. Finally, it extinguishes the right to
try claims that are incompatible with the one asserted in the lawsuit.
 Upon service of process, the defendant is constituted in default and begins
to owe interest. Likewise, he becomes a holder in bad faith of the fruits
received and of those that he has failed to receive due to his negligence.

RESPONSIBILITY
The plaintiff, when filing the claim, may incur various types of liability:

PROCEDURAL LIABILITY: This translates into the payment of the costs


resulting from the trial. Generally, the plaintiff is liable for these when his claim
has been rejected for lack of merit.

CIVIL LIABILITY: It results in an indemnity to the defendant. The plaintiff may


incur in this type of liability when he/she has presented by his/her fault an
unfounded claim or makes an injurious imputation, causing a damage
assessable in money.

CRIMINAL LIABILITY: This results in a criminal sanction. The defendant may


incur this kind of liability if he or she commits a crime during the trial process,
such as presenting false witnesses or documents, or commits slander.

TYPES OF DEMAND THAT EXIST

PERSONAL CLAIMS:
Occurs when the claim for a given object is made by a single person.
Actions for cancellation or dismissal of public servants may be challenged, the
time limits for this procedure are reduced by half, in accordance with the answer
to the complaint and the presentation of evidence and pleadings, the judgments
issued in this matter annulling the challenged act, shall provide for the
reinstatement of the plaintiff in his position and the payment of his
corresponding salaries as of the date of cancellation or dismissal if so
requested in the complaint, or the payment of the corresponding indemnification
and the payment of his corresponding salaries, if so requested in the

6
complaint.The reinstatement of the plaintiff in his position and the payment of
his corresponding salaries as from the date of the cancellation or separation, if
so requested in the complaint, or the payment of the corresponding indemnity
and the payment of the salaries as from the effective date of the act of unjust
cancellation, if so requested.

DEMAND IN BIDS AND TENDERS


This type of administrative lawsuits are carried out when a public bidding
process does not comply with all or some of the requirements demanded for the
execution of the same, requirements that appear in the State Contracting Law
and in the ONCAE's Manual of Procurement by Bidding and Consultancy
(Oficina Normativa de Contratación y adquisiciones del Estado de Honduras).

DEMANDS IN SPECIAL MATTERS


They are those that are going to have a different processing to the ordinary trial,
that is to say, they have characteristics that make them special and different,
among which we can mention:
 Executive judgment
 Loss of parental rights of minors under the care of a public or private social
welfare institution.
 Of the rescisory action
 Foreclosure
 Of the special eviction trial.

7
CONCLUSIONS

 In matters of private law, the State, autonomous institutions and


municipalities may not be sued in court without a prior administrative
complaint filed before the head of the respective organ or entity. Likewise,
the administrative claim prior to the judicial process shall be based on the
same facts and rights that will be invoked in the eventual legal action.

 The administrative claim must be resolved within sixty days from the date of
filing.

 The administrative bodies shall carry out their activities, subject to the
hierarchy of norms established in Article 7 of the General Law of Public
Administration and in accordance with the rules of economy, speed and
efficiency, in order to achieve a prompt and effective satisfaction of the
general interest. And in those cases in which the Law grants discretionary
powers to the bodies, they shall proceed within the limits of such powers and
in accordance with the purpose for which they were granted.

 The administrative bodies shall collaborate with each other in the exercise of
their functions, carrying out diligently and promptly the actions entrusted to
them.

 No material action that limits the rights of individuals may be initiated without
the prior adoption and legal communication of the decision that serves as a
legal basis.

DURING THE SEQUEL of the PRESENT same that I direct against THE STATE OF HONDURAS

KENIA MERCEDEZ FLORES in her condition of GENERAL ATTORNEY OF THE
REPUBLIC, who is of legal age, married, lawyer, Honduran, and of this domicile, whose habitual

residence is unknown.o, and of this domicile, whose habitual residence is unknown, which I declare
under oath, but for purposes of summons and summons can be located at the offices of the
PROCURADURIA GENERAL DE LA REPUBLICA located in plaza COLPROSUMAH boulevard
Juan Pablo II, Tegucigalpa.
M.D.C. The complaint is based on the followingfacts, omissions and legal provisions:

FACTUAL BACKGROUND

FIRST: I began my service relationship with the state of HONDURAS through the Secretary of
State in the Security Offices (SEDNA), on March 1, 2008 by agreement SEDS -36-2008 with the
position of Administrative Officer I in the Personnel Department, with a salary of L 7,500.00;
Position held until September 30, 2013 by virtue of the fact that I was promoted to the position of
10
Administrative Planner I by agreement number SEDS -25-2013 dated September 30, 2013, earning a
salary of L.15,000..00; subsequently through agreement number SEDS I-236-2017 dated March 1,
2017 I was promoted to the position of

11
Administrative Planner II, with salary L.18,000.00 and finally by agreement number SEDNA-236-
2018 dated March 1, 2018 I was promoted to the position of Administrative Planner III from which I
was dismissed, in which I was earning L.23,000.00; fact that I will accredit at the appropriate
procedural moment.

SECOND: During the performance of my work, I was never subject to calls of attention since I
performed with all responsibility and diligence trying to maintain my labor stability as established in
Article 64 and 169 of the Constitution of the Republic.

THIRD: Your Honor, allow me with much respect to illustrate clearly how my dismissal happened;
on (8) April 8, 2018, I was beginning my work day when I received an official notice and Agreement
of Cancellation of my appointment number SEDS - 328-2018, effective as of (15) April 15, 2018; in
said agreement it states that I am being cancelled due to dismissal from the position I held.n of my
appointment number SEDS - 328-2018 being effective as of the day (15) fifteenth of April; in this
agreement it is expressed that I am being canceled by termination of the position in which I had been
working due to a reduction in staff due to a reduction in the number of employees due to a reduction
in the number of employees.The aforementioned agreement states that I am being cancelled due to a
reduction of personnel due to an administrative restructuring without indicating why my position is
affected by said reduction and furthermore without having observed the procedure that the law and
its Civil Service regulations prescribe in articles 53 and 55 of the law and 279 and 283 of the
aforementioned Regulations, which clearly and fully establishes the procedure to be followed. This
cancellation agreement is attached to the present lawsuit.

FOURTH: It is of my knowledge that when there is an Administrative Restructuring, the existing


position must be eliminated, in my case the position of Administrative Planner III still exists in the
Department of Planning and Budget in the Secretary of State in the Offices of Security SEDS, and
another person has even been appointed to the position, violating my right to opt for it, since I was
denied the opportunity to take the competitive examination.

ADMINISTRATIVE ACT BEING CHALLENGED


It is challenged and demanded the nullity of the CANCELLATION AGREEMENT of Appointment
number SEDS 328-2018 dated (8) April eighth, two thousand eighteen (2018) issued by the
Secretary of State in the Security Offices (SEDS) in which I am notified of my cancellation due to
severance, which is in violation of the provisions of Article 55 of the Civil Service Law in relation to
Article 283 of the Civil Service Regulation, since both legal precepts establish thatn Por Cesantía , el
cual es violatorio a lo establecido en el artículo 55 de la ley de Servicio Civil en relación al artículo
283 del reglamento del Servicio Civil ya que ambos preceptos legales establecen que la notificacióIn
my case, it was done seven (7) days after it was issued, this is visible both in the official notice and
in the cancellation agreement dated (8) March, 2008, which is dated (8) March, 2008 and (9) March,
2008.This is visible both in the official notice and in the cancellation agreement dated April eighth
(8), two thousand eighteen (2018) and effective on April fifteenth (15), two thousand eighteen
(2018); therefore, the present action is admissible.

SCOPE OF RECOGNITION OF INDIVIDUALIZED LEGAL STATUS

conditions as those prevailing at the time of my cancellation of my appointment to my job and, as
Damages, to pay me the salaries I did not receive from the date of my cancellation until the date on
which, subject to the procedural rules, I am entitled to the payment of the salaries I did not receive
from the date of my cancellation.

13
I hereby request that I be reinstated to my job and the costs of the present lawsuit.

AMOUNT OF THE CLAIM


The amount of the claim will be determined by simple arithmetic operations and will be the result of
the wages accrued from the date of my cancellation until the date I am reinstated in my job with the
corresponding trial costs.

represented by the State of Honduras through the Secretariat of State in the Offices of Security

(SEDS) by Mrs. TIANA MELISSA HERNÁNDEZ BONILLA, of known generals in the lawsuit

of merit; Answer to the Lawsuit based on the following facts and legal considerations:

NULLITY OF THE CONTESTED ADMINISTRATIVE ACT

The section of the Claim of Nullity of the Challenged Administrative Act, which consists of the

issuance of Agreement of Cancellation of Appointment number SEDNA - 328-2018 dated April 8,

2018, issued by the Secretary of State in the Security Offices (SEDS) adjusted to law, is totally

rejected.

LIST OF FACTS AND OMISSIONS

FIRST: This first fact is fully accepted as being true as stated by the plaintiff.

SECOND: It is totally rejected, since the plaintiff was the object of attention calls during her work

for the defendant Secretariat, which will be proven at the appropriate procedural moment.

THIRD: The third fact is rejected, for being totally false what is stated by the plaintiff, since the

Agreement of Cancellation of Appointment number SEDS - 328-2018 dated April 8, 2018, issued by

the Secretary of State in the Security Offices (SEDS) was notified to the plaintiff with the time

established in Article 238 of the Civil Service Regulations, and that said Agreement states that it is

effective as of May 08, 2018.

22
FOURTH: The fourth fact is totally rejected, since the defendant has not violated any legal order as

expressed by the plaintiff.

Since it is important to point out that the position occupied by Mrs. TANIA TOSELIN SOLANO

will be merged with two other positions, in order to proceed with Administrative restructuring,

generating an annual savings of L 223,793.03 (Two Hundred Twenty-three Thousand Seven

Hundred Ninety-three Lempiras and three cents), therefore the position occupied by the plaintiff will

no longer be available for her, which will be proven during the trial process.

AMOUNT OF THE CLAIM

The amount of the claim is totally rejected, whatever it may be, since what my client is obliged to do

is to pay the acquired rights in accordance with the Law, since the administrative act that he is

requesting to challenge was issued in accordance with the law.

LIST OF MEANS OF EVIDENCE

In order to prove the points sustained in the answer to the claim, I will avail myself of the following

means of evidence:

Documentary:

 Copy of the Appointment Agreement SEDS -36-2008 dated March 01, 2008.

 Copy of Agreement No. SEDS -328-2018 of dismissal dated April 08, 2018 effective as of

May 08, 2018.

 Notification of Agreement No. SEDS -328-2018 dismissal dated April 08, 2018.

 Call for Attention Memoranda number 25 dated August 10, 2016.

 Call for Attention Memoranda number 30 dated July 25, 2017.

Likewise, I will make use of any means of testimonial evidence, expert testimony, legal

presumptions that may be necessary to accredit the intended purpose.

Representative of Mrs. TANIA YOSELIN SOLANO , and it is requested to those present to turn off

with you the honorable Judge: MARCIO MORALES

JUDGE: MARCIO MORALES Good day Madam Secretary, to the parties and the public in
general, having verified the appearance of both parties and having listened to the hearing, the present
hearing is declared open. The purpose of which is to elucidate the preliminary defenses that have
been filed by Attorney KENIA MERCEDES FLORES as Attorney General of the State of
Honduras, who considers that the lawsuit filed does not meet the admissibility requirements,
specifically the lack of exhaustion of administrative remedies.

Likewise, I must point out the rules to be followed during the development of this hearing, there will
be a time for each of the parties to speak, interruptions are not accepted because each party will have
the right to reply, the use of cell phones is not accepted during the course of the hearing and I also
ask you to keep the due respect at the time that any of the parties has the floor to maintain order:

JUDGE: MARCIO MORALES Prior to ratifying the previous defenses, we proceed to the first
moment of the hearing, which is the conciliation:
ATTORNEY: KENIA MERCEDES FLORESDoyou have the power to conciliate?
KENYA : ANSWER NO...

In view of the fact that the attorney does not have the power to conciliate, the conciliation is deemed to have
failed.

26
JUDGE: MARCIO MORALES I ask the Attorney General of the State of Honduras if he ratifies the
previous defenses:

KENYA : Thank you very much your Honor, in effect I ratify the previous defenses presented by
this Party, however it is worth mentioning your Honor that according to article 63 literal c) of the
Law of Jurisdiction of the Contentious Administrative Matters, I appear in time and form promoting
previous defenses by virtue of the fact that Ms.ora TANIA YOSELIN SOLANO omitted the fact
that prior to filing a complaint TO DECLARE THE NULLITY OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE
ACT before the Contentious Administrative Court of the Department of Francisco Morazá , she
should have exhausted the administrative process. n, it should have exhausted the administrative
process as indicated in article 42 of the law, since the file includes the resolution issued by the
superior organ of the respective administrative hierarchy, in which the administrative process is
exhausted, therefore, I consider that the lawsuit filed against my client, the State of Honduras, is
inadmissible.

JUDGE: MARCIO MORALES The previous defenses have been ratified by the attorney of the
State of Honduras, and in accordance with the principle of contradiction and defense, the floor is
given to Attorney LUIS ALBERTO ZEPEDA in his capacity as legal representative of Mrs.
TANIA YOSELIN SOLANO.

fehacientemente las defensas previas presentadas por la parte demandada DE LA

to answer as follows based on Article 68 paragraph 5 of the regulations of the Secretary of Security.
On April 8, 2018, I received an official notice and Agreement of Cancellation of my appointment
number SEDS - 328-2018, effective as of April (15) fifteenth ; then continuing in that the action
against my client was not respected due process and also in the arguments of the state representative
that Mrs. TANIA has been called to attention for misconduct in her work performance, a situation
that we reject.The State representative's arguments also state that Mrs. TANIA has been called to
attention for misconduct in her work performance, a situation that we reject.

43
ATTORNEY LUIS JOSE

This procedural part makes its allegations as follows; with the statement of my client the
following was accredited in this hearing, number one that she was hired by the Secretary of
Health in the modality of agreement, that she was subject to coercion by Mr. DENIS
VARELA who, in a manner not in accordance with due process, was the one who fired my
client, for which said statement must be taken into account and valued under the criteria of
sound criticism, since it was the one who fired my client. DENIS VARELA who, in a
manner not in accordance with due process, was the one who fired my client; therefore,
said statement must be taken into account and evaluated under the criteria of sound
criticism, since it was clear. 2 with the statement of the gentleman, this defense was able to
prove that the corresponding process to dismiss a person who works for the Ministry of
Health must be done through the head of human resources with the approval of the Minister
of Health, and the statement of Mr. Denis Varela, who answered that this is the first time
that a person is dismissed by her, making it clear and evident that the fundamental rights of
my client, such as the right to work, are being violated.Mr. DENIS VARELA, who
answered that this is the first time that a person is dismissed by her, making clear and
evident that the fundamental rights that assist my client such as the right to work, to defense
and due process, for which I request your Honor that our claim be declared admissible.I
therefore request that our lawsuit be declared admissible because it is in accordance with
the law and that therefore the nullity of said act be decreed, therefore the legal situation of
my client be recognized and the State of Honduras be ordered to pay the payments that
have not been received since her dismissal until the date on which this resolution is
declared final, likewise we request that my client be reinstated to the position she held in
the Ministry of Health.

 The floor is given to the procedural representative of the DEFENDANT -


attorney JUAN RODRÍGUEZ, so that he may formulate his arguments
and corresponding conclusions.

44
 Well, your honor, this party makes its pleadings in the following manner;
with the plaintiff's statement, it was proved that

45
She held a public position and that she was dismissed in a legal and due
manner since she stated in this hearing that she had no record of having
attended her work on Wednesdays and Thursdays of the month of June
2016, with which said dismissal is in accordance with the law with the
statements of Mr. DENIS VARELA, this party accredited that DENIS in his
capacity as minister of faith of his institution received the power that by law
he is entitled to, since he received orders from the high command to dismiss
her. DENIS VARELA , this party accredits that DENIS in his condition of
minister of faith of his institution received this power that by law assists
him, since he received orders from the high command to dismiss the
plaintiff, therefore, once again, it has been accredited that there was no
evidence that she had not attended work on Wednesdays and Thursdays of
the month of June of the year 2016.This defense has proven that Mr.
DENIS VARELA , in the exercise of his duties, was the hierarchical
superior of the plaintiff, and therefore the dismissal to which the plaintiff
alludes is framed in the law, since only the hierarchical superior is in charge
of dismissing the plaintiff, and therefore the dismissal of the plaintiff is
framed in the law.With the means of evidence called expert evidence, the
plaintiff was not able to prove that such dismissal was unjustified; therefore,
it is requested that the claim filed be dismissed as unjustified because the
dismissal of Mrs. CARMEN MARTINEZ was in accordance with the law.

SUBMITTED FROM THE FOREGOING LETTER.....

EXP. 0801-2020-00034
ADMINISTRATIVE CONTENTIOUS ADMINISTRATIVE COURT OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF FRANCISCO MORAZÁN - Tegucigalpa, Municipality of the Central District, on
the twelfth day of November, two thousand and twenty.

FACTUAL BACKGROUND
FIRST: On August 27, 2020, this Court issued an order, in which the appeal for reconsideration filed
by the representative of the PROCURADURIA was admitted for processing, and a term of three
days was granted to the procedural representative of the appealed party, so that she could formulate
her written opposition to said appeal for reconsideration.

LEGAL BASIS
FIRST: Once the period for opposition has elapsed, whether or not a writ has been filed, the court
will decide without further formalities, by means of an order, within three (3) days. Article 697 of
the Code of Civil Procedure.

SECOND: Therefore, this Court pronounces that upon reviewing the motion for reconsideration
filed by attorney LURBIN JOHANA GARCÍA, in which she states that it is not attributable to her
representation, the fact that the evidence now offered could not have been offered in the first
instance, since such evidence arises from the interrogation of the parties at the hearing, by virtue of
which this Court, in accordance with Article 241 of the Code of Civil Procedure, considers declaring
that the motion for reconsideration is not admissible, since attorney ROLANDO ANDINO should
have argued at the time of the hearing that the evidence offered could not have been offered in the
first instance, since such evidence arises from the interrogation of the parties at the hearing.By virtue
of this, this Court, in accordance with Article 241 of the Code of Civil Procedure, considers that the
64
appeal for reinstatement requested by the plaintiff is not admissible, since attorney ROLANDO
ANDINO should have argued the new fact that he invokes today at the time of the hearing and
proposed the evidence that was convenient to his right, which would be resolved on the spot and if
the resolution was not favorable to him,

65
The parties may protest at the same time to the effect of asserting their rights in the appeal that may be
filed against the final judgment.

ENACTING PART
In view of the foregoing, this Court orders: I) to consider as filed in due time and form the opposition
brief to the motion for reinstatement by attorney ROLANDO ALBERTO DURON ANDINO. II)
TO DISMISS the motion for reconsideration filed by attorney LURBIN JOHANA GARCÍA,
against the order dated May six, two thousand twenty issued by this Court, for the reason stated in

of the Republic, Attorney LURBIN JOHANA GARCIA MONTES, in her capacity as defender of

Judge of the Administrative Court of Appeals.

I then proceed to verify the appearance of the parties, Attorney ROLANDO DURON , Plaintiff's
procedural representative and Attorney LURBIN JOHANA GARCIA MONTES, legal
representative of the defendant.

Mr. Judge takes the floor.

JUDGE JOVANNY:

Once the appearance of the parties has been verified, the present hearing begins, the purpose of
which is to develop the preliminary hearing of the claim contained in file number 123-2021. JUDGE
GEOVANNI:

First of all, I ask attorney LURBIN JOHANA GARCIA MONTES, in her capacity as attorney, if
she has authorization or executive agreement to conciliate.

PROCURATOR LURBIN GARCIA: No, Your Honor, I do not have authorization to conciliate.

JUDGE GEOVANNI:

The conciliation stage was deemed to have failed because the attorney general did not have the power to
conciliate.

The floor is given to the plaintiff to express if it has any procedural defect to denounce.

PLAINTIFF ATTORNEY ROLANDO DURON:

No, Your Honor, I have no procedural defects to announce.


JUDGE JEOVANNI:

For the principle of equality, the floor is given to the attorney to express if she has any procedural
defect to denounce.
PROCURADORA LURBIN GARCIA:
No, Your Honor, I have no procedural defects to denounce.

67
JUDGE JOVANNI:

The floor is given to the plaintiff so that he may precisely state his claim and terms of the debate,
based on articles 458 and 459 of the CPC.
PLAINTIFF ATTORNEY ROLANDO DURON:

Rolando sets out his claim and terms of the debate


Thank you Mr. Judge, the claims in the present lawsuit in the nullity of the CANCELLATION
AGREEMENT of Appointment number SEDNA -328-2018 dated (8) eight of April Two Thousand
Eighteen (2018), issued by the Secretary of State in the Security Offices (SEDNA). Since the
cancellation is made in violation of Article 55 of the Civil Service Law, in relation to Article 283 of
the Civil Service Regulations, since both legal precepts establish that the notification of the
cancellation due to Severance must be made one month in advance, and in this case it was made
seven (7) days after the cancellation was issued.Both legal precepts establish that the notification of
the cancellation due to Severance must be made by the Appointing Authority one month in advance
and in this case it was made seven (7) days after it was issued. It is also requested the reinstatement
of my client to her position in equal or better conditions than those prevailing at the time of her
cancellation of her appointment, and as Damages, the payment of the salaries lost since the date of
her cancellation plus the costs of the lawsuit.
That is all, Your Honor.
JUDGE JOVANNI:

Based on the principle of contradiction contained in article 4 CPC, the floor is given to the
prosecutor of the Republic of Honduras so that she may precisely state her claim, opposition and
terms of the debate.
PROCURADORA LURBIN GARCIA:
Thank you Mr. Judge, Being at the time to accurately state the claim and the opposition and acting in

my capacity as legal representative of the State of Honduras, I hereby state my opposition and the

first fact of the claim is declared uncontroverted because it is true and the second fact is declared

controverted since the plaintiff was the object of calls for attention during her work for the

Secretariat of State in the Security Offices (SEDNA), which will be proven at the appropriate

procedural moment.The third fact of the claim is declared controverted, as it is totally false what the

plaintiff has stated, since the Agreement of Cancellation of Appointment number SEDNA - 328-

68
2018 dated April 8, 2018, was personally notified to the plaintiff, and the fact that the plaintiff was

not notified of the cancellation of the appointment is declared controverted, as it is not true.

69
fourth, since the plaintiff's rights have not been violated as expressed by the plaintiff. Therefore, I

request the judge to declare the plaintiff's claim dismissed and to order the plaintiff to pay the costs.

JUDGE JOVANNI:
Once the claims have been established by the plaintiff, and the opposition has been presented by the
plaintiff, the object of the debate consists of the NULLITY OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE ACT
CONSISTENT IN THE CANCELLATION AGREEMENT NUMBER SEDNA JUNE 15,
DATED APRIL 7, 2021, ISSUED BY THE PROPERTY INSTITUTE.
Therefore, the means of evidence to be proposed must be oriented solely and exclusively to the fact
that said act was not issued in accordance with the law.
Continuing with the next moment of the hearing, consisting of the presentation of evidence, based on
article 463 of the CPC.
The plaintiff is given the floor to propose its means of proof.
PLAINTIFF ATTORNEY ROLANDO DURON:

Rolando proposes proof

Thank you, Your Honor, this plaintiff proposes as evidence the private documents consisting of:

- Agreement SEDNA-36-2008 dated March 1, 2008, which certifies that on this date my client began
working in the position of Administrative Officer I in the Personnel Department.

- Agreement number SEDNA-236-2018 dated March 1, 2018, where it is shown that my represented
was promoted to the position of Administrative Planner III, in which I was earning the amount of
L.23,000.00, from which I was dismissed.

- The CANCELLATION AGREEMENT of Appointment number SEDNA -328-2018 dated (8)


eighth day of April, Two Thousand Eighteen (2018) issued by the Secretary of State in the Security
Offices (SEDNA).

- Copy of the administrative file kept by the human resources department of SEDNA, where it is
evidenced that my client, during all the time she worked for this institution, has never been
reprimanded or sanctioned in any way.

70
Evidence that I request your Honor, be admitted as useful, pertinent and necessary, since it serves to
demonstrate that my client was terminated in violation of her job.

JUDGE JOVANNI:
Once the evidence has been proposed by the plaintiff, the floor is given to the prosecutor of the
Republic of Honduras to express if she has any opposition to the evidence proposed by the plaintiff,
and in turn to propose her own evidence.
PROCURADORA LURBIN GARCIA:
I have no objection to the means of proof proposed by the plaintiff and I will use the following
means of proof to prove the points sustained in the answer to the claim:
Documentary:

the answer to the claim.
Evidence that I request, Your Honor, to be admitted as useful, pertinent and necessary for the
clarification of the object of the debate.

JUDGE JOVANNI:
The plaintiff has the floor to state whether it has any objection to the means of evidence proposed by
the Prosecutor.

PLAINTIFF ATTORNEY ROLANDO DURON:

No your Honor, I have no objection to the evidence proposed by the defendant.


JUDGE JOVANNI:

71
After the parties have proposed their means of proof, based on article 479 of the CPC,

FACTUAL BACKGROUND

before this Court, suing the STATE OF HONDURAS, since through the Secretary of State in the
Security Offices (SEDNA) the plaintiff states that she was terminated in violation of the law since
she was never notified of her dismissal in the manner established in the law. Visible at folios 2 to 5
of this document.

SECOND: On November 10, 2020, the Attorney of the Republic LURBIN GARCIA proceeded to
answer the aforementioned lawsuit, and in the same document requested preliminary defenses, which
were resolved in a hearing and which were dismissed for not complying with the requirements
established by law. Proceeding to file a reinstatement of the resolution issued by this Court, which

held, where the parties were asked if they had any intention of conciliating, the same intention failed
because they did not reach any agreement, then the object of the debate was set, once the object of
the debate was set, the evidence was presented by both parties. Once the object of the debate was
fixed, the parties proceeded with the presentation of evidence by both parties. Once this stage was
completed, this court admitted all the evidence offered by the parties and also fixed the evidentiary
hearing, notifying the parties on the witness stand. See folios 23 to 28.

Mrs. ARGELIA SIERRA began to work in the position of Administrative Officer I in the

FUNDAMENTALS OF RIGHTS

FIRST: This Court is competent to hear the claim filed before this Court of Administrative
Litigation of the Department of Francisco Morazán, since it exercises its jurisdiction within the same
territorial circumscription - Articles 23, 28, 33 of the Code of Civil Procedure, hereinafter referred to
as CPC, and 139 of the Law of Organization and Powers of the Courts.

SECOND: It is necessary to point out once again that, due process must be understood as a peaceful
means of conflict resolution, as a suitable remedy for conflicts through the eradication of illegitimate
force, and as a debate in which two parties participate with the intervention of an independent and
impartial third party who interprets and applies the law to each specific case, governed in a
constitutional and democratic state of law, by a series of basic principles and guarantees that ensure
the protection of the law in each specific case.It is governed in a constitutional and democratic state
by a series of basic principles and guarantees that ensure the effective judicial protection of
fundamental rights, and ultimately a fair trial for the parties. Therefore, due process is said to be a
right that contains, groups or encompasses other rights,
82
which are contemplated as "Judicial Guarantees" in Article 8 of the American Convention on Human
Rights (Pact of San José). Among these other rights, we find the right of the parties to a judicial
process, without alterations or deformations, during the course, development or logical procedural
unfolding of the same. Consequently, it is clear that the parties have the right to a trial in which they
are guaranteed due process; and, furthermore, to a judicial decision that presents sufficient
motivation, foundations or legal arguments that justify what occurred in the various stages of said
process; and that is CONGRUENT with the claims opportunely deduced by the parties, in any type
of process. The requirement that judicial decisions be reasoned guarantees that judges, regardless of
the instance to which they belong, express the mental process that has led them to decide a
controversy, ensuring that the exercise of administering justice is done subject to the Constitution
and the law; but also, with the purpose of facilitating an adequate exercise of the right of defense of
the parties. It is understood that the foregoing must occur both in the proven facts and in the legal
grounds, which are the basis for the operative part or judgment, therefore, there must be coherence
between them. And it is through the legal grounds that judgments will always be reasoned, a
reasoning that must cover all the claims that have been timely deduced, as well as the other litigious
points that have been the subject of debate. Articles 193.1.b), 199, 206, 207, 208 of the CPC.

THIRD: That access to justice is understood as the fundamental right under the guarantee of equal
treatment before the law and non-discrimination that makes it possible for all persons to have access
to the knowledge, exercise and defense of their rights and obligations, as well as to resort to and
promote the activity of the bodies in charge of providing public service in the administration of
justice, in order to obtain legal protection of their interests through a prompt, complete, and complete
resolution.That access to justice is understood as a fundamental right under the guarantee of equal
treatment before the law and non-discrimination that allows all persons to have access to the
knowledge, exercise and defense of their rights and obligations, as well as to resort to and promote
the activity of the bodies in charge of rendering the public service of justice, with the purpose of
obtaining the legal protection of their interests through a prompt, complete and impartial resolution.
When exercising the right to petition, the parties must express in a punctual, clear and concrete
manner what they are requesting, that is to say, what they demand, request or intend that the Court
resolve. Articles 80 of the Constitution of the Republic; 424.2.g, 700, 701 of the Code of Civil
Procedure. State employees have no powers other than those expressly conferred to them by law.
Any act performed outside the law is null and void. Article 80, 321 of the Constitution of the
Republic.

FOURTH: In the instant case, it is possible to verify, in the facts expressed and in the evidence

83
provided by the plaintiff, the concept of the infraction, which they allege was committed by the
Secretary of State in the Security Offices (SEDNA), since with the documentary evidence this
Jurisdictional Body is able to verify that the memorandum provided by the defendant, it is not
possible to clarify that this is a cause for the dismissal of a person, since the memorandum provided
by the defendant, does not clarify that this is a cause for the dismissal of a person.risdictional Body is
able to appreciate that the memorandum provided by the defendant does not make it clear that this is
a cause for the dismissal of a person, since this only corrects the conduct of the personnel, and there
are mechanisms to sanction the personnel, but it is not a cause for the dismissal of a person.

84
The evidence provided by the plaintiff, consisting of the administrative file of the now plaintiff, also
shows that she was never subject to a monetary sanction or suspension sanction, also in that file it is
possible to observe that she was never legally given a discharge hearing, which gives rise to a true
violation of the dismissal carried out by (SEDNA).Also in that file it can be seen that she was never
legally given a discharge hearing, which with this action gives rise to a true violation of the dismissal
carried out by (SEDNA), for such reason this Court is obliged to correct such conduct and order the
reinstatement of Mrs. TIANA MELISSA HERNANDEZ BONILLA, to her job position. Likewise,
this Court considers that based on its function to remedy the due process and the right of defense, it
must make use of the constitutional principle of nullity of the agreement of cancellation of the
CANCELLATION AGREEMENT of Appointment number SEDNA -328-2018 dated (8) April
eighth, two thousand eighteen (2018) issued by the Secretary of State in the Security Offices
(SEDNA) and reestablish the process to the person in question.The Court considers that based on its
function of remedying the due process and the right of defense, it must make use of the constitutional
principle of nullity of the agreement of cancellation of the CANCELLATION AGREEMENT of
Appointment No. SEDNA -328-2018 dated April 8, 2018 issued by the Secretary of State in the
Security Offices (SEDNA) and reinstate the process in order not to violate the right of defense of the
now plaintiff. Articles 321 of the Constitution of the Republic; 1 and 40 of the Law on the
Organization and Powers of the Courts, 1,38,53,55,57 and other applicable articles of the Civil
Service Law; 1,6,7,279,280,282,283 of the Regulations of the Civil Service
