General theory of criminal proceedings

Table of contents:

Anonim

The word process comes from proceed, a term that is equivalent in one of its meanings, to move forward or backward, a path to follow towards a proposed or determined end.

For the author Alessandri maintains that the process, "It is the aggregate of the written documents and actions that are successively presented and verified during the trial."

It is worth mentioning that the process.- It is the heterocompositive solution of a dispute, that is to say the impartial solution, in charge of a body of State authority; the judge, who intervenes at the request of one of the parties and whose authority derives from the rule of the State itself and the force of law.

As regards the procedure in general.- It is a set of acts related to each other by the unity of the final legal effect, which can be that of a process, that of a phase or its fragment.

Procedural Law

In an objective sense, it is usually designated “the set of legal norms and principles that regulate both the jurisdictional process and the integration and competence of the State bodies that intervene in it.

Procedural law from the legal point of view

It can be defined as the systematic study of the legal-procedural rules that are in force in a place and at a certain time.

Among the characteristics that are usually attributed to procedural law in terms of the set of legal norms, the following can be highlighted:

I. IT BELONGS TO PUBLIC LAW.- Insofar as it regulates the exercise of a State function, such as jurisdictional through the process. The judge as the head of the jurisdictional function of the State, conducts and resolves the process, in any field of law.

II. IT IS THE AUTONOMY Of the science of Procedural Law it has, with respect to the disciplines, that study the various branches of substantive law. Although the rules of procedural law regulate one of the means or instruments of application of the rules of substantive law.

Fundamental unit of the process

The division of the world into countries and the concept of sovereignty have resulted, due to the jurisdictional power of each State that empowers it to know and resolve with binding force for the parties the disputes arising within the scope of its competence. That they implement procedures to make it effective.

Procedural channels

I. ORDINARY VIA.- It is defined as a concatenated series of acts where the Court, in exercise of its jurisdictional power, resolves a dispute.

II. SPECIAL ROUTE.- In the opposite sense to the ordinary way and by exclusion it is the concatenated series of acts where the Court, in exercise of its jurisdictional power, resolves a controversy through a specific and particular procedure.

III. EXECUTIVE ROUTE.- It is the special procedure that begins with the seizure of assets owned by the defendant, to guarantee the results of the trial and, later, hear him in defense and resolve disputes with binding force for the parties.

IV. VIA ARBITRAL.- It is the special procedure for the administration of justice, alternative carried out before the judge, agreed by the parties in conflict and through which they submit to the knowledge of a third party who does not depend on the judicial power, but who by provision of the law is invested with jurisdictional power to act and settle the specific litigation with binding force.

V. SUMMARY ROUTE.- For the author Caravantes, it is understood as that procedure that does not follow the slow and solemn order of the ordinary trial, but rather shorter procedures, marked to agree on the urgency that he claims.

Limits of jurisdiction

It should be mentioned that the jurisdictional function usually has two limits:

  • THE OBJECTIVES, Which are determined by the type of litigation that the judges may know of according to their competence. THE SUBJECTIVES.- That derive from the legal situation in which certain people are.

It should be noted that the subjective limits of jurisdiction are manifested in a preponderant way, although not exclusively, in criminal procedural law, through an institution known as immunity, this is only a transitory obstacle to the exercise of jurisdiction, established at favor of certain people, due to the function they perform, which may cease to exist at the end of the assignment or may be removed before this by the competent body for it.

Conflicts of jurisdiction

As the competence is an estimate of the validity of the process, the judge himself has the duty to verify in each litigation that arises, whether or not he has competence to hear about it.

Regardless of this duty of the judge, the parties have the right to challenge, the jurisdiction of the judge, the parties have the right to challenge, to object to questioning the jurisdiction of the judge for what is usually called competition issues to the media through which the parties object to the jurisdiction of the judge.

And traditionally it has been classified:

  • DECLINATION.- It is a means of direct challenge, since it is promoted before the judge who is hearing the litigation, asking him to refrain from knowing it and send the file to the judge who is deemed competent. INHIBITORY.- It is an indirect route, by virtue of the fact that it is promoted before the judge who considers himself competent, asking him to address the one who is hearing the litigation and is considered incompetent, so that he inhibits and remits the file to the first.

Conflicts of jurisdiction

These occur when two judges declare themselves competent (positive conflict) or incompetent (negative conflict) to hear the same matter, and if the conflict of jurisdiction arises before two judges who have the court as their hierarchical superior, this will be the competent one to resolve it..

Exception in the criminal procedural laws, empower the incompetent judge who receives a consignment with detainee, to carry out all the actions included within the period of 72 hours provided in article 19 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States, including the Order that resolves the legal situation of the accused.

Impartiality of the judge

Unlike jurisdiction and competence, the impartiality of the judge is an essential condition for the exercise of the jurisdictional function, which must be satisfied not by the body itself, but by the person or persons who are head of it; the judge or magistrates.

Just as the parties are asked, as a condition to intervene in the process, to prove that they have a legal interest in the dispute, the judge and magistrates are required to be outside the interests of the parties; not have with these links; which are all those circumstances that may affect the impartiality of the judge.

When a cause of impediment is presented in a specific litigation, the judge or magistrate has the duty to excuse himself from hearing about it by stating the specific cause that affected his impartiality.

If the judge or magistrate does not excuse themselves, despite presenting a cause of impediment, the affected party may assert the challenge to denounce and prove said cause of impediment.

Concept of impediments

They are all those ties or circumstances that may affect the impartiality of the judge, such as kinship, friendship, professional ties, economic interest, etc.

An example of this as indicated by the Code of Civil Procedures for the State of Tlaxcala; judges, magistrates, secretaries, and experts have the duty to refrain from knowledge of business.

EXCUSES.- It is the reason or motive that the judge, magistrate or secretary asserts, to inhibit the knowledge of the trial.

The excuse will always be made except for cause, if there is no opposition from any of the parties, the files will be sent to the corresponding judge, and if there is opposition according to articles 232 and 220 of the CPCT; the magistrate in turn will know, in the case of judges of first instance, and in the case of a magistrate of the Court, the same Court will know, but without the presence of the challenged magistrate.

Who can challenge?

R = Only the parties and third parties that appear may challenge, in the process voluntarily or by court order and in each judicial business each party may challenge without cause and only once.

In what time can it be filed?

R = According to art. 189 and 199 CPCT, in any stage of the lawsuit, after the claim has been answered and until before the hearing for sentencing.

Effects it produces:

I. They suspend the jurisdiction of the public servant while it is qualified and decided, except as provided by article 198 CPCT.

Who does it interpose?

R = Before the same public servant who recused himself.

What tests are allowed?

R = All means of proof established by law.

There are two types:

1. With cause (incidental process and knows the hierarchical superior.

2. And without cause known to the same judge.

Procedural budgets according to the doctrine

For the author, Oscar Von Bùlow explains that for the process to exist, it must have a procedural legal relationship, which is configured from certain elements that compose it, namely:

  • Competition. Capacity of the parties. Legitimation of the representative.

Note: These are all called procedural estimates.

And in the absence of these elements there is no procedural legal relationship, and therefore there will be no process. Faced with the breach or lack of any procedural budget, the judge has the power to act ex officio or at the request of a party that is; through exceptions. When ruling, the judge must analyze if the procedural action exists and if it was correctly exercised, for this reason it is stated that in any process there must be two stages or phases:

I. FOCUSED ON THE EXAMINATION OF THE PROCEDURAL BUDGETS.- In other words, the procedural legal relationship.

II. FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANALYZING THE MATERIAL LITIGIOUS QUESTION.- That is to say, material legal relationship.
