ROL Y PODERES DEL JUEZ CIVIL: UNA MIRADA DESDE LA EFICIENCIA DEL PROCESO

this article intends to show the close connection between judge's authority and the process efficiency. in order to achieve this goal we have begun assuming a certain conception regarding the end of the civil process based in the justice of the decision that takes as a necessary, but not enough, condition: the truth of the facts. together with said aim there are others such as a low cost process and done in a reasonable time. in the need to make these aims compatible the judge's authority plays a central role, leading the process to a fair result and in adequate timing, also allowing to freely apply the law -prior contradictory- when it has been wrongly cited, preventing the jurisdictional activity to fail for juridical reasons.
