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

Abstract

Abstract: This Curricular Integration Project aims to analyze the reasoning in judgments issued by first level judges in Ecuador, as a fundamental guarantee of due process and effective judicial protection. The study is based on doctrinal and jurisprudential analysis of the concepts of sufficient and correct reasoning, according to the standards established in the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador, the Organic General Code of Procedures, and the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court. The research is methodologically structured through the analysis of judgment No. 11333-2022-04414, related to a reivindicatory action. The judge s factual and legal arguments, the coherence of the decision, and compliance with the required standard of reasoning are evaluated. As a result, inconsistencies are identified in the assessment of evidence and in the application of legal norms, which reveal insufficient and incoherent reasoning, affecting the guarantee of impartial justice, recommendations are presented to improve the argumentative techniques of judicial operators, promoting continuous legal training that strengthens respect for the constitutional rights of the parties involved in legal proceedings.
