En el presente artículo, el autor nos comparte algunas reflexiones en torno a la posibilidad de aplicar el artículo 1135 del Código Civil a la solución de un caso de mejor de derecho de propiedad. Para tal efecto, realiza algunos comentarios a una sentencia emitida por nuestra Corte Suprema, la cual da solución a una controversia de esa misma naturaleza. De ese modo, llega a concluir que dicha norma no solo se limita a solucionar un conflicto meramente obligacional, sino que también funciona como un dispositivo de asignación definitiva de titularidades como la propiedad.

The Fourth Casatory Plenary has encountered significant challenges due to the evolving circumstances. Throughout the past decade, a series of Jurisdictional Plenary Sessions have emerged, some of which have addressed issues that were not examined during the Fourth Plenary (such as the jurisdiction of Magistrate Judges to adjudicate precarious eviction cases or the potential waiver of conciliation in evictions arising from lease agreements with forfeiture clauses). Moreover, certain conclusions reached in these sessions openly contradict the precedents established in the Fourth Plenary (including the prescriptive period applicable to eviction claims or the possessory title in eviction lawsuits filed against family members).The current situation bears resemblance to the environment in which the Fourth Plenary was conducted, characterized by: (i) divergent perspectives on various aspec...

The acquisitive prescription or usucapion turns out to be one of the most important figures in our regulations regarding property. As it turns out, it is not only a way to acquire the domain, but the only reliable way to prove ownership status.Along these lines, the present work makes a study of the concept of usucapion and its function as ‘proof of dominance’. This gives way to an analysis of the argument surrounding the ‘owner’s statute of limitations’, by examining national jurisprudence on the matter.Finally, to expose the practicality in the acceptance and application of the concept at a casuistic level.The author concludes that, through the acceptance of the theory of the ‘owner’s prescription’ and a correct application of it, it is possible to solve a series of controversies linked to the determination of the t...

Busca darle un enfoque distinto a los problemas que en la actualidad surgen como consecuencia de una declaración judicial (o arbitral) de nulidad y cómo es que ésta repercute sobre los derechos y situaciones jurídicas en general adquiridas por terceros contratantes. Se habla de “terceros” para hacer referencia a aquellas personas que no participaron en la celebración del negocio jurídico declarado inválido pero que de alguna forma entraron en contacto con alguna de dichas partes y derivaron un derecho de tal negocio. La investigación se hace aún más urgente si es que se tiene en cuenta que nuestro Código Civil (en adelante CC) no regula los efectos jurídicos de la nulidad. Ello puede resultar justificable cuando se dice ingenuamente que los contratos nulos nunca producen efectos jurídico, pero, como tendremos oportunidad de analizar y aclarar en el capítulo correspondie...

The ever-growing importance of foreign investments in international trade has spurred the development of a series of mechanisms to attend to the controversies that may arise during commercial relationships. The authors not only analyze the conflict resolution methods, but also the rights conceded to each individual in the commercial relationship, and the sources from which those rights are born. The authors underline the importance of having a solid and cohesive legal framework before starting any investments in a foreign country, and to that end the Investment Treaties constitute an important structure to reassure the investors that their capital will be protected under every circumstance.
