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

Abstract

Abstract:The objective of this paper is to analyze the validity of Judgment No. 11333202200183, focusing on proper motivation as a guarantee of due process and legal certainty within the framework of jurisdictional guarantees, specifically the action for protection. To this end, I apply the analytical method, breaking down the judgment into its essential parts to evaluate the legal arguments used by the judge. I use the "EL SER" technique to examine the structure of the ruling in detail, identifying the facts, legal issues, grounds, and decisions, as well as potential flaws in motivation. The results show that, although the analyzed judgment presents certain weaknesses in its wording and in the evaluation of evidence, it does not incur serious motivational deficiencies that justify its correction or annulment. Therefore, the decision falls within the limits allowed by our legal framework, demonstrating proper motivation and true legal certainty. Finally, the judgment meets the minimum requirements for reasoning established by the Constitution and the various regulatory bodies, which demonstrates that no constitutional rights were violated, which is why it should not be amended. This analysis contributes to strengthening the legal culture regarding the importance of adequate reasoning in judicial decisions.
