Overview
- Indecopi's Specialized Chamber issued Final Resolution No. 0346-2026/SEL-Indecopi on July 10, 2026, confirming the S/150 charge was an illegal bureaucratic barrier.
- After the resolution, Indecopi's regional technical secretariat monitored implementation and the Colegio de Abogados de Arequipa removed the S/150 requirement so lawyers no longer pay it.
- The agency concluded the fee was tied to evaluation, selection and registration procedures that exceed the bar's legal powers and therefore cannot be treated as training.
- Curadores procesales are court-appointed lawyers who represent parties who cannot be located or cannot defend themselves, and removing the fee lowers a direct cost that had restricted lawyers' access to the public registry used for judicial appointment.
- The case began with a complaint by lawyer Cristhian Rubén Vizcarra Adriano and underscores Indecopi's wider role in eliminating unlawful requirements that limit professional access, a development that could prompt other professional associations to review similar practices.
