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

Abstract

Abstract: This paper analyzes the reasoning contained in the judgment of case No. 17315-2022-00698, related to the extraordinary acquisitive prescription of ownership. Through a doctrinal and jurisprudential study, the standards of sufficiency and validity of judicial reasoning are examined, considering its role within due process and the effective execution of rights contained within the legal framework. The normative and factual elements that underpin the judge's decision are identified, evaluating their coherence between the legal argumentation and constitutional principles. The work contributes to the critical understanding of judicial analysis and strengthens the use of legal tools to evaluate the argumentative quality of rulings. This study is relevant for professional legal training, as well as for improving institutional judicial practice.
