The exercise of the right of defense in the process of replying to the approval process.

Abstract

The present research focused exclusively on the administrative procedure of approval, established in the Labor Code. This procedure stipulates that an answer must be given within two days, which implies that the defendant must find a lawyer within that period, gather evidence, prepare a defense strategy and carry out all related processes. The research was developed under an approach that combines qualitative and quantitative research methods, using both theoretical and empirical approaches to knowledge, and relied on research techniques such as interviews, surveys, and literature review. It was concluded that this time limitation negatively affects the exercise of the right to defense.
