Necesidad de incorporar en el proceso civil ecuatoriano técnicas de litigación oral civil con sustento en los principios constitucionales del debido proceso y el derecho comparado.

Abstract

This research paper examines the problems derived from the ineffective regulatory development concerning the techniques (process) of oral civil litigation in the "Código Orgánico General de Procesos" of Ecuador. We also review how the technical inefficiency of some lawyers have an impact in generating violations of the right to effective protection under the law, the right to defense which comprise the guarantees laid down in article 76.7 of our "Constitution," and the principles of orality, contradiction, and efficiency. In a broader scope referent to the problem under review, we offer an analysis of the doctrine on techniques used for oral litigation as well as a revision of standards encompassing such techniques in the civil procedural codes of El Salvador and Honduras. We also reviewed the allegations and practice of evidence of adjective civil codes of Chile and Peru. Finally, based on the results of this research, a reform proposal was designed to incorporate effective and appropriate techniques for oral litigation in the “Código Orgánico General de Process” in Ecuador.
