Deber de veracidad de las partes del proceso civil: ¿una exigencia más allá de su consagración legal?. Análisis a propósito del sistema legal procesal civil uruguayo

Abstract

: In civil procedure doctrine, veracity, particularly as a duty im-posed on the parties, is highly questioned. Nevertheless, the Uruguayan system especially recognizes it. This dispute and the dilemmas that con-temporary society faces, challenge us about the role that law plays in this situation. This research briefly reviews the state of the issue in to later analyze the relevance and legitimacy of the Uruguayan normative. Finally, why this requirement remains as such, beyond its normative consecration will also be justified from a philosophical perspective. Understanding duties as a form of protection of rights and the search for truth as inherent to the human condition, the duty of veracity of the parties in the process –beyond its express legal consecration– not only would not encounter major objec-tions, but which would appear inexcusable.
