Las Audiencias Telemáticas En El Ecuador Y Su Relación Efecto Con El Principio De Inmediación En La Práctica De Prueba Civil

Abstract

The world went through a series of changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, which as a result brought people to isolate ourselves and that we do not have any social contact to avoid the spread of the virus and that there are no massive infections. The judicial system also went through major changes as a result of this pandemic, change that was reflected with the implementation of telematic hearings, which was implemented by protocol by the National Court of Justice. The telematic hearings are related to the principle of immediacy within an oral process for hearings, which is nothing more than the direct contact that the judge has with the parties to the proceedings, with the practice of evidence, so that through the fulfillment of each precept the judge can make the best decision. In order to be able to analyse the effect or relationship of the principle of immediacy in the taking of evidence, we will start by analyzing each of the components individually in order to reach a better understanding of the subject. Therefore, the present investigation will be qualitative, since, through its conceptualization, and epistemological foundations, we will be able to have more detailed information on this principle of immediacy with the taking of evidence in telematic hearings.
