On the $\Lambda^+_c$ -> p + K^- + $\pi^+$ decay
  The proton energy spectrum and the angular distribution of the probability of the $\Lambda^+_c$ -> p + $K^-$ + $\pi^+$ decay for the polarized $\Lambda^+_c$ and the unpolarized proton are calculated in the effective quark model with chiral U(3) X U(3) symmetry incorporating Heavy Quark Effective theory (HQET) and Chiral perturbation theory at the quark level (CHPT)$_q$. The application of the obtained result to the analysis of the polarization of the $\Lambda^+_c$ produced in the processes of photo and hadroproduction is discussed. We draw the similarity between the measurements of the polarization of the $\Lambda^+_c$ in the $\Lambda^+_c$ -> p + $K^-$ + $\pi^+$ decay and the $\mu^-$--meson in the $\mu^-$ -> $e^-$ + $\bar{\nu}_e$ + $\nu_{\mu}$ decay.
