La problemática actual de la acción de nulidad en contra de los laudos arbitrales.

This dissertation studies the problems involved in the annulment of arbitral awards in Ecuador and the treatment given by the different courts and tribunals of justice in the country to this mechanism for challenging awards.

A case study and a review of specialized literature and the relevant doctrine demonstrate the existence of undue interference of ordinary justice in arbitration and the inadmissibility of an appeal of cassation or an extraordinary action for protection once the arbitration proceeding terminates. This leads to the conclusion that an amendment to the Arbitration and Mediation Law is necessary. ; Esta tesina estudia la problemática de la acción de nulidad en contra de los laudos arbitrales en el Ecuador y el tratamiento que las diferentes cortes y tribunales de justicia del país han dado a esta forma de impugnación del laudo.
