Abstract

The violation of the objective duty of care is established through the concurrence of the four items set out in Article 146 of “Código Orgánico Integral Penal” (COIP). In light of judgment No. 01283-2019-14403G, this study analyzes whether, based on the evidence presented, the “Tribunal de Garantías Penales con Sede en el Cantón Cuenca” thoroughly examined the configuration of this element, which is essential to declare culpability for the offense of " Homicidio culposo por mala práctica profesional." The analysis takes into account the hypotheses of the procedural parties, the interpretation and definition of each requirement of Article 146, and contrasts the evidentiary assessment made during the trial.
