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

Abstract

Abstract: This research analyzes case número. 17371-2018-XXXXX, resolved by the Labor Court located in the Iñaquito Parish of the Metropolitan District of Quito, Pichincha Province, regarding a claim for wrongful dismissal of a pregnant employee, from the perspective of the reasoning behind the judgment. Since a settlement agreement was reached through the judge's intervention, the judgment's reasoning was limited to outlining the grounds for the settlement and the regulatory framework on which it was based. Therefore, an extensive explanation of the facts or the applicable rules and principles was not required. The study employed a qualitative, documentary-based methodology, which allowed for the analysis of the judgment's reasoning within the current theoretical and regulatory context, and the formulation of conclusions and recommendations based on the analyzed judgment.
