Resumen:
Sumario:The purpose of this paper is to analyze the legal framework on amendments to Public-Private Partnership Contracts as provided by the Public-Private Partnership Law No. 18,786. To this end, within the scope of unilateral amendments, the consequences of imposing such amendments in an illegitimate manner and the possibility of unilaterally imposing a limitation of the contract’s subject matter are examined. Additionally, aspects regarding bilateral amendments to Public-Private Participation Contracts and possible limitations applicable to the subject matter on which they may be based, are addressed. This paper also studies the possible consequences that non-compliance with the formal requirements established in the applicable law may have on the validity of the amendment in question. Finally, the grounds for renegotiation and, especially, the case of illegitimate unilateral amendments as an additional ground not expressly provided for in the applicable law, are analyzed.
