For such purposes, once the judgment or the resolution determining the liquid sum is final, the Tribunal, also at the request of a party, shall issue a communication to the Oficina de Presupuesto and the Contraloría General de la República, which must be delivered with acknowledgment of receipt.
2. Three months after receipt of the communication, said offices shall not process or approve, as the case may be, any ordinary or extraordinary budget of the Administration liable for payment, if the necessary appropriation for compliance with the judgment or judgments is not contemplated therein.
However, when it concerns the payment of compensation corresponding to an expropriation or expropriations decreed by the Executive Branch, whether on its own initiative or at the request of a state entity legally authorized to do so, the Executive Branch shall be the one obliged to comply with what is provided in the previous article, in its ordinary budget or in an extraordinary one if it so prefers, without prejudice to the fact that afterwards, should the entity directly liable to pay be an autonomous institution of the State, it may recover what it paid through the same procedure established in the provision being added.
(Thus the preceding paragraph added by Article 1 of Law No. 5052 of August 17, 1972)* * (By means of Article 1 of Law No. 5540 of July 8, 1974, a final paragraph is added to Article 1 of Law No. 5052, which adds the preceding paragraph, indicating the following: “This provision has the character of authentic interpretation and as such must be understood to be incorporated into the legal norm being interpreted and governs from the effective date of the original law.”) (La Corte Suprema de Justicia, by resolution at 3:00 p.m. on December 4, 1975 (case file No. 0385-1974, brought by the company Stewart Hermanos Limitada), declared inapplicable Article 1 of Law No. 5540 of July 8, 1974, by means of which the final paragraph of Law No. 5052 of August 17, 1972 was added, which also expanded this article.)
3. Payment must follow a strict order of presentation or communication.
4. In any event, when the sued Administration alleges, within 30 days after the judgment becomes final, that compliance with it, on its own terms, would produce a serious disruption to its Treasury for the realization of its normal purposes or for the attention of its previously contracted obligations, it may, upon approval of the Contraloría General de la República, set the method of payment that complies with the judgment in the least burdensome way for the Public Treasury, without prejudice to what the parties agree upon in this regard.
