Estudio de las sentencias sobre la acción extraordinaria de protección en el Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this project is to analyze the function of the extraordinary protection action, its purpose, utility, the corresponding procedures, due process, legal certainty, and the constitutional rights that its application contemplates. To achieve this, three judgments issued by the Constitutional Court were considered: Judgment No. 260-15-SEP-CC in which the plaintiff raises the violation of the right to due process; Judgment No. 258-15-SEP-CC in which the plaintiff raises the violation of the right to job stability and legal security; and Judgment No. 261-15-SEP-CC that raises the violation of the right to due process and effective judicial protection. The results show a series of inconsistencies that cast doubt on the correct functioning of the judicial system, so it is important that the judges have full knowledge of the regulations to act objectively and thus achieve a correct administration of justice.
