This Act allows actions for relief with respect to the violation of rights and liberties recognized expressly or implicitly by the Constitution. Among other things, the Constitution of Uruguay provides that all persons are equal before the law, with no distinguishing between them except with respect to talents and virtues. An action for relief may not be brought against jurisdictional acts, acts of the Electoral Court, and laws and decrees of the departmental governments that have the force of law in their jurisdictions. Neither may an action for relief be brought if there are other judicial or administrative means to obtain the same results. As a remedy, a court may order specific actions to be undertaken or ceased, without prejudice to monetary sanctions that may be ordered under Act No. 14.978 of 14 December 1978.
