elección de competencia territorial


Explanation:
Existe una diferencia entre venue (se refiere a competencia territorial) y jurisdicción (es la competencia con respecto a la causa).
Un juez puede ser el competente en virtud del VENUE y no en virtud de la JURISDICTION.
Saludos,

JURISDICTION:
IT IS THE POWER OF THE COURT TO DECIDE A MATTER IN CONTROVERSY AND PRESUPPOSES THE EXISTENCE OF A DULY CONSTITUTED COURT WITH CONTROL OVER THE SUBJECT MATTER AND THE PARTIES....
IT EXISTS WHEN COURT HAS COGNIZANCE OF CLASS OF CASES INVOLVED, PROPER PARTIES ARE PRESNT AND POINT TO BE DECIDED IS WITHIN POWERS OF COURT.
(BLACK´S LAW DICTIONARY)
Claramente se expresa que el punto es la competencia con respecto a la CAUSA.

VENUE:
VENUE DEALS WITH LOCALITY OF SUIT, THAT IS, WITH QUESTION OF WHICH COURT, OR COURTS....MAY HEAR THE SPECIFIC SUIT IN QUESTION.
IT RELATES ONLY TO PLACE WHERE OR TERRITORY WITHIN WHICH EITHER PARTY MAY REQUIRE CASE TO BE TRIED. IT HAS RELATION TO CONVENIENCE OF LITIGANTS AND MAY BE WAIVED OR LAID B CONSENT OF PARTIES.

Sigo....

VENUE DOES NOT REFER TO JURISDICTION AT ALL. \"JURISDICTION\" OF THE COURT MEANS THE INHERENT POWER TO DECIDE A CASE, WHEREAS \"VENUE\" DESIGNATES DE PARTICULAR COUNTY OR CITY IN WHICH A COURT WITH JURISDICTION MAY HEAR AND DETERMINE THE CASE.

(BLACK´s LAW DICTIONARY)


*** YOUR INTRODUCTION TO LAW
(GEORGE GORDON COUGHLIN) Pages 239-240

PLACE OF TRIAL (VENUE)
The locality where the offense is triable.

....In order to justify a change of venue, the prejudice must be against the accused and exist throughout the entire locality....


CONCLUYO:

VENUE: COMPETENCIA TERRITORIAL
Jurisdicción territorial de un tribunal...
(Guillermo Cabanellas)

JURISDICTION: Competencia en razón de la materia o de la naturaleza del caso. Competencia material.

***** No es correcto traducir \"venue\" y \"jurisdiction\" como JURISDICCIÓN.
Se debe aclarar si es jurisdicción con respecto a la competencia territorial o a la causa.
