Motivación en las sentencias emitidas por los jueces de primer nivel en Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract: The reasoning of a court judgment must be sufficient and legally sound to avoid defects that could invalidate it. A properly reasoned judgment guarantees that it was issued in compliance with procedural guarantees and applicable legal norms. In this context, the correct application of the abbreviated criminal procedure was examined, with a reasoned analysis that demonstrated that it was properly applied in accordance with the legal requirements established in Article 635 et seq. of the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code. Consequently, there are no factual or legal grounds to invalidate the judgment, since both the factual and normative elements are coherently integrated into the decision, without deviating from the merits of the case, which prevents its annulment or referral to a higher court.
