This paper critically analyzes the opinion 12.120-2019 of the Office of the Comptroller General of the Republic, through which it changed its historical jurisprudence regarding the incompatibility and prohibition of public officials-lawyers to exercise civil actions against the Administration. It argues that this opinion is partly illegal and unconstitutional.
