Reflexiones sobre la congestión judicial en la jurisdicción de lo contencioso administrativo colombiana

Abstract

This paper questions serious problem of congested justice bureaus, particularly in jurisdiction of Contentious- Administrative. Daunting statistics show overflowing filing of demands on grounds of Contentious- Administrative, which, together with increasing constitutional actions of 1991 (protective law appealing, fulfillment, common and people's rights) hinder magistrates and judges from prompt ruling of cases, in detriment of effective justice administration, despite of appealing to administrative judicial measures, proved insufficient to overcome congestiono

To cope with such chaos, author suggests interesting ideas geared to reinforce judicial structure throughout increased number of judges, and effective new objective and administrative practices that accelerate proceedings for a timely efficient handling of justice administration.
