Municipal Law

Doctors Alejandro Ponce Martínez and Alejandro Ponce Villacís, partners of our firm, represented the victim in the case Salvador Chiriboga against the Republic of Ecuador before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, whose sentence was rendered on May 6, 2008. This resolution was favorable for the victim and declared that the Ecuadorian State violated the private property and due process rights. This is the first case in the continent in which the Inter-American Court rules on the scope of expropriation in the field of human rights.
