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

Abstract

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to carry out a study of three judgments issued by the Constitutional Court of Ecuador on the extraordinary action of protection, in the specific field of the right to due process, the reasoning of the judgments and legal certainty, based on a jurisprudential,doctrinal and normative analysis. Likewise, this work, being part of a puzzle project, contributes to the obtaining of data and identification of the main arguments held by this highest body of constitutional justice against possible effects on the constitutional rights of people in final judgments issued by the Judicial Function. From the analysis of these arguments, it is clear that the constitutional norm has been correctly interpreted and that constitutional judges correctly weigh up the cases brought to their attention, contributing to guaranteeing the rights of individuals. Finally, it should be noted that, in the judgments that are the reason for this study, we will find the right to motivate and legal certainty as the main rights violated, which arefundamental for the correct administration of justice in Ecuador.
