Estudio comparado del principio de concentración en el Código Orgánico General de Procesos del Ecuador (COGEP) y en el Código General del Proceso de Uruguay

Abstract

The Principle of Concentration is undoubtedly one of the most important procedural principles in any legal system. It brings speed, agility to processes, without losing effectiveness and validity in procedural acts that are achieved together in a single moment. In Ecuador, although the 2008 Constitution provides for this principle in informing the national Procedural System, the current Code of General Process does not establish explicitly, resulting in legal practice that many law operators who believe that at some point can be applied, it is not. Contrary to this Uruguayan procedural law, if expressly defined in its regulations. This is the central point on which this study focuses, delimit the inadequacy of COGEP in regulation of this principle, taking as reference Uruguayan law, and based on that set out the relevant reform. Has been used as a research technique the survey of legal practitioners, judges, prosecutors and lawyers in the full exercise of their duties, they have provided valuable information, concluding by quasi unanimity, the need to incorporate precisely in Ecuadorian civil procedural rule. Is expected to achieve reform proposal, explicitly implement that principle and thus the obligation to abide without delay as required
