In the special case of administrative contratation, it is the law who explicitly authorizes its use, but we must understand this authorization as limited, because it can not be forgotten than in this kind of contratation, the State is always a party, and as if, it has it's prerogatives and powers of it's own, in which is compromised the juridical order and the exercise of the public power; aspects that can not be disposed. In this essay I will tray to tackle just a few aspects and inconvenients of the arbitrage in administrative matters, most of all in those cases that is discussed about the vices and nullities of the contract as a legal figure.
