Abstract

The bill of the new civil procedure code proposes an specific position concerning the role that the Supreme Court should play in light of the appeals system upcoming chilean civil procedure reform. However, it seems that there is not much clarity on which role the Court should play in the constitutional system's broader context. From this lack of adjustment, several questions arise, which are relevant for democracy and for the role that courts should play as democratic institutions in the constitutional context.The purpose of this work is to highlight the tensions between a modern democracy's constitutional requirements regarding the judicial system and the legal configuration of the "recurso extraordinario" (extraordinary appeal), in light of five proposed topics for future legislative discussion.
