Telematic Summons As A Solution To Procedural Delays In Ecuador

The problem that will be analyzed throughout this paper lies in the ineffectiveness with respect to the perfection of the judicial summons by conventional means, a means by which the defendants are notified within a judicial process and which is indispensable for the prosecution of the case, being that, without complying with this stage, the process cannot continue or entails irremediable nullities.In order to solve this problem, in Ecuador, bills have been proposed before the National Assembly of Ecuador, which aim (among others) to reform the General Organic Code of Proceedings, in order to implement the citation by e-mail as a means to improve the judicial citation, however, However, with the publication of the Organic Law Reforming the Organic Code of the Judicial Function on December 8, 2020, these proposals were partially accepted, so throughout this manuscript we will seek to analyze this reform, to review whether it solves the existing delay or if there are other means to remedy the legal problem.
