ABSTRACT Without denying the validity and importance of the probable doctrine, since the enactment of the Political Constitution of 1991, Colombia's legal system, of a Roman and French tradition, started to shift towards the common law system, mainly because of the interpretations of the Constitutional Court. Hence, the rigid usage of legislated law by judges is now open to the use of precedent to reach a decision. Simultaneously, in the Nineties Colombia began its economic opening and adopted the organization of a Mixed State, one where free competition and State regulation converge. With the evolution of the sources of law on the one hand, and the State regulation on the other, the concept of precedent applied to the decisions of administrative authorities has emerged.
