Spanish term or phrase: principios de congruencia y exhaustividad
Context: Mexican legal document (appeal)

el acuerdo recurrido se aparta del deber jurisdiccional (...), violando así los principios de congruencia y exhaustividad que deben prevalecer en toda determinación judicial...

I considered "principle of non ultra petita" for "principio de congruencia" but I think the meaning is too narrow here.

Principio de congruencia : la sentencia debe ser congruente no sólo consigo misma, sino también con la litis tal como haya quedado establecida en la etapa oportuna; de ahí que se hable, por un lado, de congruencia interna, entendida como aquella característica de que la sentencia no contenga resoluciones o afirmaciones que se contradigan entre sí y, por otro, de congruencia externa, que en sí atañe a la concordancia que debe haber con la demanda y contestación formuladas por las partes, esto es, que la sentencia no distorsione o altere lo pedido o lo alegado en la defensa, sino que sólo se ocupe de las pretensiones de las partes y de éstas, sin introducir cuestión alguna que no se hubiere reclamado, ni de condenar o de absolver a alguien que no fue parte en el juicio.

El principio de exhaustividad está relacionado con el examen que debe efectuar el juzgador respecto de todas las cuestiones o puntos litigiosos, sin omitir ninguno de ellos, es decir, dicho principio implica la obligación del juzgador de decidir las controversias que se sometan a su conocimiento tomando en cuenta los argumentos aducidos tanto en la demanda como en aquellos en los que se sustenta la contestación y demás pretensiones hechas valer oportunamente en el juicio, de tal forma que se condene o absuelva al demandado, resolviendo sobre todos y cada uno de los puntos litigiosos que hubieran sido materia del debate.

  -> the Spanish one, in particular as to the explanation of "exhaustividad"

disagree  Seth Phillips: Exhaustiveness does not at all convey the real meaning of exhaustividad.

Any recommendations by this Commission concerning the structure and alignment of the federal appellate system should be tested against the standard whether they promote two principal objectives, which are increasingly in tension with one another: The ability of the system to render (1) reasonably timely decisions and (2) analytically consistent and carefully considered decisions. In the face of an increasing federal caseload, generating timely decisions either requires more judges � which can adversely affect the uniformity and analytic consistency of the resulting decisions � or demands that less time be allotted to each case � which may affect the quality and thoroughness of the decisions.

The weight accorded to an administrative judgment “will depend upon the thoroughness evident in its consideration, the validity of its reasoning, its consistency with earlier and later pronouncements, and all those factors which give it power to persuade, if lacking power to control.” Skidmore, supra, at 140.

http://erepository.uonbi.ac.ke:8080/handle/11295/8393
The main findings to be extracted from the study are that for a myriad of reasons, judicial decisions are not always consistent, uniform or predictable. Lack of proper or effective law reporting of decided cases is one of the key causes for this. Other causes include lack of diligence and thoroughness in legal research by the parties concerned, ignorance of material facts and legal provisions, judicial ineptitude and extraneous considerations which are allowed to creep in and affect judicial appreciation of the applicable facts and law.
