- The absence of a judge other than the parties
- The imposition of the decision by one party to another.
Partes
In a broad sense is a way to resolve a conflict of interest provided by one of the contestants or possibly both peacefully, without the intervention of a third.
Strictly is the solution to a dispute on a proposal (not violently) by one or both individuals sacrificing their own political interest, settlement accepted by the other party.
Compositional Order Forms (They are 2)
- Bilateral: derived from a complex act.
- Unilateral: derived from a simple act, resignation (withdrawal) and recognition (search).
Not always provided within the process may occur before, after, or independently of the process, are presented in the sequel proceedings.

---|---|

4. Payment of damages | YES |
Acquiescence
It comes in plain, can be seen as flat or without offering any resistance.
It’s a defendant’s own conduct implies recognition of the right claimed by its counterpart, this does not always require the judge to convict the defendant.
Procedurally, a recognition of and submission of the wronged party to the event and/or disputed claims against it addressed.
Compromise
Method of settling disputes where both parties by their own will find a solution to conflict, there is no third. The legislation establishes limitations occur when the public at risk. The transaction is not always possible for the sheer disinterest of the parties on some occasions, when there is equality of circumstances leading to any party that cannot withstand the pressure if counterpart and was forced to yield to a bad deal.
Heterocomposición
It is the most evolved and institutional solution to social conflict and implies the intervention of an impartial third party outside the conflict, to solve it.
Were these figures, arbitration and judicial process

The competition is a condition that must satisfy all authority to exercise its powers properly in certain types of disputes or conflicts.
The jurisdiction can only be used in those matters within its competence.
“Jurisdiction differs from the competition in which the first is the genus while competition is the species’
Competition
The limit that is designated for the exercise of jurisdiction by each of the various organs a provider of justice.
It is the attitude given to judges by law to know in individual cases according to certain factors that will be known as criteria to determine competence. Since 4 of these so-called core and two tuners.
Competence by reason of subject matter: we take into account the subjective nature of the asserted right to demand and that is the claim and rules to specific cases.
Examples:
Family Divorce à ° ° (matter (Note to civil court matter
° Payment of rent on tenancy disputes Judge (field
Competition on the basis of territory: it is the space within which to exercise its judicial functions being validly area receives various names according to each entity, as in some places are called judicial districts, judicial districts and circuits.
Competition on the basis of amount: the amount by which estimates the value of the dispute, it is noted that the difference between a May issue of lesser value and another value, a distinction is not important, but this would report better workload.
Competition on the basis of degree: Relates to the level or hierarchy of courts.
Related Criteria
– Time: The order or mode of internal distribution of applications appropriations, entering a court transfers, when two or more adjudicators with the same competence, can have an infinite number of variables, whether of time, randomly.
– Prevention:additional criterion for those cases where several judges have jurisdiction to hear the same case simultaneously, it is said to be responsible has been warned that in the case, which decided the issue first.
Jurisdictional Issues
– Inhibitory: it appears before the judge who is considered competent to require the officer to feel incompetent to refrain from taking up the matter and submit the file. It arises in the 9 days of the site and should be attempted before giving defense.
– Pleas: to be tried before the court where proceedings are brought, shall be made while they are answering the demand by way of exception procedural order that the judge will consider incompetent refer the case to his superior and to the jurisdictional issue is resolved.
In both cases to promote the issue of jurisdiction must specify the causes and reasons why they are considered incompetent to judge hearing the case and also should clearly articulate what the court asserts jurisdiction, accompanying the evidence we have at our power to sustain competition.
SUBJECTIVE COMPETITION: It’s not competition, but is suitability. When an individual (judge, magistrate), does not meet the legal requirements to hold the position of owner or representative of a State body or tribunal has no power to that office and if he does, his act will not be the ideal and becomes entitled sanctions or penalties that the law aims to prevent such contravention.
IMPEDIEMENTOS: clearly specified and which are those considered as such, describes the situations or reasons that the law considers facts or law presume that the bias of the official.
THE EXCUSE: When the officer (magistrate judge or registrar), the court is aware and has knowledge of the existence of any impediments or some other ground or similar circumstance, would find himself obliged to apologize, that is, fail to hear the case, which must be made even as the parties did not object to, concretely exposing what are the reasons underlying the excuse.
THE CHALLENGE: When the court officer is unaware of the existence of an impairment, or even noticing improperly fails to apologize, then any party who feels blessed by the impediment to know and this has legal basis, can start at Step impeachment, to be removed from official knowledge of the case, the permit application is made incidentally, giving the reasons and motives for the decision the same, this procedure does not suspend the process, but if from it annulled the proceedings from the moment that brought the challenge.
