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

Abstract

Abstract: This curricular integration project provides a reflective and analytical perspective on the problems arising from the lack of motivation in judicial decisions issued by first instance judges in Ecuador, which allows for an understanding of the legitimacy of the judicial system. Therefore, an analysis is presented of criminal case 15123202500071, carried out by the Judicial Unit of the Quijos canton for a traffic violation. To achieve this objective, the analytical method was applied to demonstrate the content of the regulations and compliance with the required justification. It was highlighted that the justification was adequate in establishing the legal and factual basis that supported the ruling, strengthening the legitimacy of the judicial act and its compliance with constitutional and legal principles. Likewise, no motivational flaws were identified, such as incoherence, irrelevance, incongruity, and incomprehensibility, because the decision issued by the judge presents an adequate application of the rule, substantiation of the proven facts, and logic between the final conclusion and the resolution.
