Therefore, the establishment of this new object of study only yields positive results in social life, ensuring unity and coherence, balance, and above all peace, in the realization of gastronomic activity. This, in turn, guarantees two basic predicates that the legal system constantly claims: legal certainty and justice. Legal certainty refers to trust and legitimate expectations regarding the Public Authority in managing the “public interest,” especially in the reviewability of legal decisions and in the formation of legal sources, through the duty to create norms, precedents, self-binding regulations, and institutional stabilization of decisions18.
