摘要：It is beyond question the importance of judicial review of the administrative justice in public service law. In this special occasion –this year, 20 years of the public service statute will be commemorated– this paper invites its readers to ponder about the reality of public utilities law. After a very detailed review of some of the most important historic moments of the administrative justice, the author presents what he calls zones of certainty and zones of uncertainty in the jurisdiction of the administrative courts on the topic of public services. Conducting a very detailed analysis of precedent from the Consejo de Estado –Colombia’s highest administrative court– the author reaches an inevitable conclusion; the extension of the judicial control power over the matters of public services are far wider than it was originally intended. Administrative law insists on being the law of public utilities and its jurisdiction persist on being the judge of public interest and prerogative powers.
