(First Court of First Instante in Civil, Commercial and) Constitutional Matters

Explanation:
Juzgado Primero de Primera Instancia en lo Civil, Mercantil y Amparo Constitucional

First Court of First Instante in Civil, Commercial and Constitutional Matters

1 – The court’s name makes it explicit that it has jurisdiction in civil, commercial and constitutional matters, since deciding on an “amparo” proceeding implies that said court has jurisdiction in constitutional matters;

2 – Even though Marina Orellana does not translate “amparo”, and Mexican legal sites in English language do not translate it either (http://www.hri.ca/ftrmexico/vol3/Chapter1b.htm), I think it is advisable to include, at least, a brief description in brackets, because this judicial institution is characteristic of Spanish speaking countries. In addition, it is also known by other names (see, for example, the Colombian “Acción de Tutela”: http://www.javeriana.edu.co/Facultades/C_Juridicas/consultor...

3 – Note for Henry: a) In Venezuela, Mérida is a state and also a city (capital of said state); b) The “Tribunales de Primera Instancia” have jurisdiction nationwide, there are no courts whose jurisdiction is restricted to one state;

A special procedure exists called recurso de amparo (appeal for protection) to enable someone to claim basic constitutional rights including access to justice. The applicant may do so in person, or the case may be brought by the public prosecutor or the defensor del pueblo (people's defender or Ombudsman. Note that this official can take on cases against the State or Administration which would otherwise involve the party concerned in the costs of obtaining legal services, and is thus a kind of free legal aid): http://europa.eu.int/comm/dgs/health_consumer/library/pub/le...

2.15 The author submits that her lawyer was prevented from attending the hearing of 16 December 1993 and from presenting his client's defence. Counsel thereupon filed a complaint based on violations of fundamental rights of the defence with the Supreme Court. On 24 February 1994, the Supreme Court (Sala de Casación Penal) declared, on procedural grounds, that it was not competent to hear the complaint.

4.5 The State party points to the availability of a special procedure (Acción de tutela), which is governed by article 86 of the Colombian Constitution of 1991, under which every individual may request the protection of his or her fundamental rights.23
