Análisis de la prueba testimonial y reglas para su debida valoración según el Código Orgánico General de Procesos.

Abstract

The Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador recognizes the importance of the right people have access to an effective, impartial and expeditious judicial protection, which includes fundamental rights such as the right of people to produce evidence to substantiate their claims and these are one of the main considerations for decision making by judges responsible for administering justice. In this regard, we have a law governing the civil procedural scope and in particular the presentation of evidence, including the testimony, which is the subject of this paper, which I consider necessary to comment and observe important aspects that will be very useful to determine certain weaknesses found in the chapter of the testimonial evidence that establishes the General Organic Code of Processes, precisely in relation to the aspects dealing with the witnesses, the interrogations and the evaluation of said evidence in view of the importance of the application of the rules of sound criticism and the maxims of experience of the Judges.
