[The legal possibilities for action in the health inspection of public eating establishments].
This study, based upon the Spanish legal framework and upon the experience of the authors, is intended to establish the legal procedures for action when a sanitary inspector finds himself in the situation where he observes that a public establishment is infringing some hygiene or sanitary regulation which may carry a health risk of varying seriousness. Possibilities for action are outlined, depending on the urgency and seriousness of the situation, as well as indicating who is responsible for the application of the law in each case. The legal possibilities for action are: the closure of the establishment, a warning, and institution of penal proceedings. Finally some suggestions are made as to the method of carrying out such inspections.
