Abstract

Abstract: This paper thoroughly analyzes the legal reasoning contained in a judgment issued in a proceeding concerning extraordinary acquisitive prescription of ownership. The study focuses on determining whether the ruling meets the criteria of sufficiency and correctness required by the Constitution, the Organic Code of the Judiciary, and the General Organic Code of Procedures. To this end, a detailed evaluation was conducted of the case's background, the relevance and assessment of the evidence, the application of Articles 2392, 2398, 2405, 2410, and 2411 of the Civil Code, and the logical coherence between the established facts and the final decision. The results demonstrate that the judgment possesses a solid argumentative structure, an adequate assessment of the evidence, and a sound legal basis. Therefore, it is concluded that it meets the standards of sufficient reasoning to guarantee due process and legal certainty. The analysis allows us to understand the importance of judicial reasoning.
