"The impact of emerging emergency circumstances on judicial rulings"

Abstract

Abstract: The litigation presupposes the existence of its parties and the eligibility of each party to carry out its procedures. If emergency circumstances occur that lead to the absence of one of the parties to the litigation, or his inability to carry out its procedures, then it is interrupted by force of law. Among the reasons that lead to the interruption of the course of the lawsuit are the death of one of the litigants or his loss of the capacity to litigate or the loss of the capacity of the one who was conducting the lawsuit and other reasons, unless the lawsuit has been prepared for judgment on its subject matter. There are certain effects that result from the interruption of the course of the lawsuit. The interruption makes it not valid for any procedural activity of any kind to be carried out in it by any person, and everything that is taken in it after the interruption is void. However, this does not mean its demise, as it remains, despite its stagnation, in existence and producing all its legal effects.
