The amount in dispute in legal proceedings: limitations and opportunities
In the present essay, the implications of the quantity within the Colombian legal system will be analyzed, specifically the role of the minimum quantity in the judicial process, due this procedural factor is of great importance as it determines the jurisdiction of judges and the procedural possibilities based on the value of the patrimonial claims. In this sense, the study focuses on the limitations of the minimum quantity, such as the lack of access to a second instance and the possibility of litigating without a lawyer. Since a debate has arisen regarding the lack of access to an additional judicial review; on one hand, it has been argued that it violates constitutional principles such as equality and due process and discriminates litigants based on an economic criterion, while another sector of the doctrine defends this limitation as a tool that allows greater speed and efficiency in the resolution of minor conflicts. Contrasting the aforementioned arguments, it is concluded that the restrictions imposed by the minimum quantity align with the constitutional framework and that the discussion on whether they represent an economic bias or a guarantee of agility remains an open topic for analysis and juridical reflection.
