El juramento deferido : suficiencia probatoria dentro de los procesos judiciales.

Abstract

Is it true that over time the difference between the employee and the employer becomes more evident? This occurs because the employer holds a higher hierarchical status, causing the worker to be the more vulnerable party. Hence, several laws have been established to safeguard the rights of workers, but in this particular case, the protection of the employer's rights has been neglected. Based on this premise, the oath granted in the field of labor law becomes significant testimonial evidence, allowing the worker to present supporting evidence for their claim. Therefore, the main focus of this thesis is to examine this type of evidence considering the fundamental and general concepts of the theory supporting the proof. Additionally, it investigates whether it relatively meets the requirements for this evidence to be effective and valid. Hence, we conduct a comprehensive analysis regarding the evidentiary sufficiency of the deferred oath, its utility in labor processes, and consequently, propose a new perspective on the feasibility of this means of proof aimed at benefiting workers belonging to the priority attention group.
