Paraguay
They Present in the Chamber of Deputies a Bill to Create a Specialized Appeals Court in Concepción
The initiative was promoted by Colorado lawmaker Arturo Urbieta and sent to committees for review. It proposes a body with jurisdiction over civil, commercial and labor matters in the Judicial District of Concepción.
Colorado lawmaker Arturo Urbieta introduced a bill to create a Court of Appeals in Civil, Commercial and Labor Matters in the Judicial District of Concepción, according to La Nación Paraguay.
According to that outlet, the proposal has already been referred to advisory committees of the Chamber of Deputies for analysis and a report.
The initiative calls for the creation of a judicial body based in the city of Concepción, with the aim of strengthening the second instance and adapting its structure to the current needs of that jurisdiction.
According to the rationale cited by La Nación Paraguay, the bill argues that access to justice is not limited to the formal possibility of going to court, but also includes the right to an effective response within a reasonable time frame.
The text also mentions the demographic and jurisdictional growth of the Judicial District of Concepción, along with the commercial, business, productive and industrial dynamism of the area, factors that —according to the proposal— generate more diverse and complex legal relationships.
At present, always according to La Nación Paraguay, the district has a multi-jurisdiction Court of Appeals that handles civil, commercial, labor and criminal cases, as well as a specialized body in Children and Adolescents.
The bill argues that separating subject-matter jurisdiction would allow the new court to focus its review work on civil, commercial and labor matters. It also provides that its final composition and the assignment of court staff and judicial auxiliaries be subject to the availability of resources set in the General National Budget Law, while regulation would be the responsibility of the Supreme Court of Justice.
