Análisis de la vulneración del derecho al debido proceso en la garantía de la motivación en los procesos laborales

Abstract

Abstract: This research aims to analyze how the right to due process is violated in the guarantee of reasoned decisions in labor proceedings. This right is based on the principle of legality inherent in the rule of law, as the resolution constitutes the logical and legal expression of the State's actions, not an arbitrary act. A qualitative methodology and an analytical method were applied through legal document analysis, as this facilitated the argumentative analysis of Judgment No. 17371-2015-06982 issued by the Constitutional Court of Ecuador. The results confirm that some labor court judgments do indeed exhibit serious deficiencies in reasoning, both in their legal and factual aspects. In the case studied, the judge did not adequately justify his decision through clear and structured legal reasoning in accordance with the fundamental principles of labor law.
