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

Abstract

Abstract: Thesis project entitled Motivation in the Judgments Issued by First-Level Judges in Ecuador. It states that motivation is a principle of constitutional guarantee enshrined in the Ecuadorian constitutional system and constitutes a means to enforce a judgment in criminal matters in order to comply with legal certainty, rights, and social justice in Ecuador. The judgment in Trial No. 24281-2023-12213 is analyzed within case 389, fourth-class traffic violations, item 1, number 1, issued by the Criminal Judicial Unit based in the Canton of La Libertad, Province of Santa Elena. Appeal filed by J.R. against a citation for speeding, issued by the Ecuadorian Transit Commission. The problem is that the notification was not carried out legally and properly, which affects his right to a defense and due process, protected by the Constitution and the Traffic Law. Studying the methods of analyzing motivation will allow for a proper evaluation of the arguments presented by the lower court judges in their rulings.
