Strengthening the Conciliation Stage as a mechanism to decongest the Civil Courts of Justice

Abstract

In this work will be analysed the strengthen of the judicial conciliation regulated in the Civil Procedure Code as a mechanism to reduce the case load of civil courts of justice, inspired in the international tendency that for some decades has encouraged the use of alternative dispute resolution methods to achieve more efficient civil procedural systems. Different steps are proposed to be taken in the short term, without the need for a legal reform.
