Incumplimiento de los términos procesales por parte de la administración de justicia

Abstract

Failure to comply with judicial terms seriously affects fundamental rights of those who come to the judicial system. Well, the Political Constitution of 1991, proclaims the right of access to justice effectively and, currently, it is common to see how in judicial offices the procedural terms established in the General Code of Process are breached, sometimes, without any type of legal justification or whatever the cause of the breach, they hide in that they present a large volume of work or point out that it is due to the behavior of the parties within the process. It is true that our Constitution provides for the right to prompt justice and establishes the procedure without undue delay as a guarantee of due process, but it did not establish the right to meet deadlines effectively. In other words, the right was established only for all processes to be resolved in a reasonable time, especially since there are also laws that proscribe all kinds of delays, such as Law 270 of 1996, Statutory Law of the Administration of Justice, which It contains several provisions that seek to give effect to the right of the judge to decide matters without undue delay. Thus, through judicial statistics from the Superior Council of the Judiciary, articles and truthful information from the legal community, we will demonstrate the constant violation of the right of access to effective justice by the administration of justice.
