DIAZ GARCIA, LUIS IVÁN. TEN REASONS TO INCORPORATE PRECEDENT-FOLLOWING IN CHILE. RDUCN [online]. 2015, vol.22, n.2, pp.139-171. ISSN 0718-9753.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-97532015000200005.

In the context of the current discussion on the resources mechanism to get to the Supreme Court, that will be established in the Chilean Civil Procedural Code draft that is being discussed in Congress, this paper develops ten reasons to incorporate precedent- following in all the procedural realms in the juridical national system. In order to make evident the weakness of each one of those, the first four reasons represent an answer to the objections that have arose against this option. The following six reasons express axiological, logical, and economic arguments, as well as arguments build on fundamental rights reasons, which support the argument for precedent under a modality, here mentioned as prima facie. Therefore, it does not consider the precedent of a juridical norm.

Keywords : precedent; arguments; Procesal Law; Supreme Court.
