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

Abstract

Abstract: The research project focuses on Motivation in Judgments Issued by First-Level Judges in Ecuador. It analyzes the argumentative quality of judicial decisions and whether they comply with the requirements established in Article 76.7.l of the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador. The right to motivation is addressed through a legal analysis of Judgment No. 07335-2022-00121, issued by the Multicompetent Judicial Unit of the Zaruma Canton. The lawsuit was filed against the Directorate of Civil Registry, Identification, and Issuance of Identity Cards of Machala, El Oro Province, regarding an administrative process concerning the late registration of birth through an administrative procedure. A review is conducted of the reasons used by the judicial unit to structure a judicial argument applied in accordance with the normative standards necessary for a correct interpretation of the law. This research will employ the analytical method for the legal study of a sentence, which consists of breaking it down into as many parts as possible, evaluating system or rule failures.
