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

Abstract

Abstract: This paper focuses on analyzing the reasoning in judicial decisions, assessing whether it is sufficient and whether it meets the fundamental criteria of logic, clarity, and reasonableness. Ensuring that judicial rulings meet these standards helps preventing them from being challenged or annulled, while also strengthening public confidence in the administration of justice and enhancing trust in the judicial system. This study examines ruling No. 17230-2020-14112, in which the plaintiff seeks the extinguishment of the judicial action due to a lack of procedural action. However, the plaintiff already holds a prior judgment ordering payment for the existing obligation, which is currently in the execution phase. Therefore, according to the law, the right has already been exercised.
