Article 481
 

481.1. The complaints or reports which are submitted, ex officio or at the request of a party, must be supported by sufficient evidence to establish the existence of the infringement and to presume the responsibility of the reported public servant.


481.2. The complaints or reports will be inadmissible:


a) When they concern actions or omissions attributed to a person who has already been the subject of another complaint or report before the Comptroller General’s Office and regarding which a final decision has been reached;


b) When they report actions or omissions that the Comptroller General’s Office is incompetent to hear, and


c) When the reported actions or omissions do not constitute causes of responsibility in the terms of this legislation.


481.3. The dismissal of the sanctioning procedure will proceed:


a) When an inadmissibility cause occurs after the complaint or report was admitted, and


b) When the complainant presents a written withdrawal, provided that this is done before the decision is issued. In the case of serious infringements, the dismissal cannot occur under any circumstances.


481.4. The study of the causes for inadmissibility or dismissal of the complaint or report will be ex officio.
