El proceso «brevior» ante el Obispo Diocesano: requisitos procesales y sustantivos de un proceso que ha de ser extraordinario
Abstract
El M. P. Mitis Iudex ha colocado al Obispo en el vértice de la función judicial en
material de nulidad del matrimonio, encomendándole tareas que van desde el control y la vigilancia
de la administración de justicia, hasta procurar la formación de los operadores jurídicos, pasando
por el propio desempeño personal de la función como juez, algo que tendrá que hacer de manera
ineludible en el proceso brevior. El presente estudio se centra en el análisis de los requisitos que el
can. 1683 exige para que se active este proceso (demanda conjunta, circunstancias de personas y
de hechos, que no requieran ulterior instrucción, sostenidas por testimonios y documentos, que
hagan manifiesta la nulidad), y se analiza también diversos aspectos de la dinámica del mismo
(decreto del vicario judicial ordenando su activación, sesión instructoria y sentencia del obispo).
The M.P. Mitis Iudex has placed the Bishop at the vertex of the judicial function regarding marriage nullity, entrusting him with duties that range from the control and surveillance of the administration of justice, to procuring the formation of legal workers, involving his own performance of a judge's role, something that he will inevitably have to carry out in the "briefer process". The present study centres on the analysis of the requirements that the Can. 1683 demands in order that this process be set into action (i.e. the petition is proposed by both spouses or by one of them with the consent of the other; the circumstance of things and persons recur, with substantiating testimonies and records, which do not demand a more accurate inquiry or investigation, and which render the nullity manifest) and also analyses the varied aspects of its dynamics (decree of the judicial vicar ordering its activation, instruction session and the bishop's sentence).
