La diligencia de la citación en el proceso civil y sus problemas prácticos de aplicación.

Abstract

In the civil procedural law the citation is an important tool, you can't violate the right of the defendant to know the content of the complaint and more than that to inform you that a case is brought against him, the citation is a substantial solemnity in the process, that is, its application is considered fundamental. In Ecuador there are many practical shortcomings in the application of this figure, although there are various types of citation regulated in the COGEP, not all are applied effectively, which leads to legal effects that can often be considered as violating rights established in the constitution as the right to defense or effective protection, in addition to omitting procedural principles such as speed and procedural efficiency among others.
