In studies on Latin America and other regions, Guillermo O'Donnell finds a specific type of political Democracy, called Delegative Democracy, which, unfortunately, has "exhibit weak or intermittent horizontal accountability." In concrete, as it has been demonstrated by the existence of state agencies that do not correctly fulfill their function of controlling and sanctioning the actions of other organizations. In this work, the concrete actions of one of the institutions that offers balance will be analyzed: The Judicial Power in Argentina. Three different cases in reference to the Law of Accessibility in passenger rail transport will be studied. These judicial decisions and their consequences will allow us to investigate the level of compliance with the Law of Accessibility, which has a greater impact on the population with disabilities, but will also provide us with information on the role of controller of justice in this country, and, consequently, of the quality of their democracy.
