LA INEXISTENCIA JURÍDICA DE LOS ACTOS JURISDICCIONALES

Abstract

This article analyzes the application of the category of imprescriptible voidness [i.e. "juridical inexistence"] to judicial decisions. It has experienced historical continuity since Roman law to our days, as well as a small but important presence in continental comparative law; therefore, it should be more clearly received in Chilean law as a mechanism of protection of the Rule of Law. © 2013 Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.
