La incidencia de los procesos judiciales en la provincia del Cañar entre los años 2018 – 2022 y su relación con el principio de celeridad

Abstract

This study analyzed the correlation between non-criminal judicial processes conducted in the province of Cañar from 2018 to 2022 and their relationship with the constitutional principle of promptness within the framework of Ecuadorian procedural law. Non-experimental and descriptive methodology was employed with a mixed approach (qualitative-quantitative). Methods such as dogmatic-legal, historical-logical, and comparative analyses were utilized, along with a literature and documentary review of non-criminal and constitutional judicial processes presented in the province of Cañar during the period under study. Simple random sampling was used to obtain the sample. The research results revealed the incidence of these processes during the period mentioned above, identifying that the procedural principle of promptness was not fulfilled in several areas. Legal reforms and public policies were also deemed necessary to promote compliance with this procedural principle. Keywords: Ecuador, procedural system, principle of promptness, procedural law
