Resoluciones de Capitanía de Puertos y Jurado de Capitanes.

Abstract

In the development of the Ecuadorian maritime law the subject focused on our research we can emphasize specific situations that draws our attention in the experiences collected in the exercise of this area of law, as a main point we can mention briefly the global evolution of the figures of the Harbor Master and the Jury of Captains, and landing in our national reality we will mention and explain the separation of powers that must exist in the decisions issued on the processes that are known by the Jury of Captains, although it is true that with The Constitution of 2008 removes jurisdiction from these figures and tacitly imposes the administrative nature of the decision, now they can only know the technical-professional responsibility of the cases, leaving to the drift the true scope of the decisions of this Jury. With the current regulations in Ecuador, there is a clear legal dilemma in which those who feel affected by decisions or resolutions issued by this institutions cannot reach a full development in the due process of their files and the resources that they can interpose in them, since the rules issued are confusing and leave legal gaps for the reach of a timely justice.
