La influencia de la prueba pericial en el proceso de inventario regulado por el Código Orgánico General de Procesos

Abstract

Abstract: This research study examines whether there is a relationship between expert evidence in inventory proceedings and the duration of such proceedings in Ecuador, with reference to legal regulations, case law, doctrine, and practical cases. A qualitative approach with a descriptive cross-sectional design was applied, together with documentary and inductive methods. Structured interviews were used for data collection, and the data obtained were presented using a categorical matrix, which allowed key aspects to be identified for the formulation of recommendations that could optimize the presentation of expert evidence in inventories. Finally, it is concluded that the problem is not isolated from the current situation of the justice system in our country, but is the result of an interconnection of factors, including a lack of pressure in terms of presentation and insufficient cooperation among key actors. In turn, further research is encouraged to implement digital systems that streamline collaboration between judges, experts, and parties to the proceedings.
