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

Abstract

Abstract: The research paper entitled "Motivation in Judgments Issued by First-Level Judges in Ecuador" aimed to analyze and evaluate the correct and sufficient motivation in judgments issued by first-level judges in Ecuador through the study of Judgment No. 17203-2022-00109, which corresponds to a child support case issued by a judge of the Family, Women, Children, and Adolescents Judicial Unit in the city of Quito. The analytical method called "EL SER" was applied to evaluate the arguments presented in the final rulings based on two criteria: the application of the sufficiency standard and the application of the correct motivation questionnaire. The result was that this judgment had correct motivation, without incurring defects of non-existence, insufficiency, or irrelevance, since the constitutional and legal norms were correctly applied, in accordance with the principle of the best interests of the child. The conclusion is that the sentence does not require correction or annulment, because it complies with the doctrinal standards of the Ecuadorian legal system.
