El Derecho Procesal entre el garantismo y la eficacia: un debate mal planteado / Procedural Law between guarantee and effectiveness: A debate wrongly explained

Resumen

Un tema que no pierde vigencia es el relativo al alcance de los poderes del juez.  Acá la doctrina se debate entre dos extremos: el juez pasivo y el juez inquisidor. Sin embargo, es posible articular un proceso dispositivo en el que el juez tenga cierta iniciativa probatoria, sin lesionar el derecho a un proceso con todas las garantías constitucionales. El objeto de este artículo será someter a crítica estos planteamientos, para llegar a una postura intermedia entre ambas posiciones, logrando su equilibrio, pues la eficacia del proceso sin garantismo es inadmisible y el garantismo sin eficacia tampoco es aceptable   Abstract The extent of the powers of the Judge is a topic that doesn ́t lose relevance. The doctrine is fundamentally divided between two extents: The passive Judge and the inquisitor Judge. Nevertheless, it is possible to design a procedure in which the Judge holds certain probatory initiative that still assures the parties right to a process with all their constitutional guarantees. The purpose of this article will be to discuss this premises, in order to reach an intermediate posture between this positions that manages to achieve a balance between both of them, because the effectiveness of the process without respect of constitutional guarantees and the respect of constitutional guarantees at all costs, in spite of the effectiveness of the process are both unacceptable concepts
