The «unreasonable» time and the unbearable delays in adjudicating civillitigations are tbe worst troubles, that, nowadays, modern societies have still to face. There can be no doubt that a too late justice is finally destined to turn to an «unjust» determination of the case (or. in other uiords, to a substantial injustice), with heavy economic costs and wide social disadoantages. This serious problem, both in cioil laui systems and in common law countnes, is well known ; but everywhere the best legislatiue attempts and efforts, in order to improue the judiciary and the proceedings' efficiency, are too often crowned untb failure. This essay tries to analyze - in a broad constitutional perspectiue, with special reference to spanisb, portuguese and latin american systems - the strict relationship tbat exists between the «reasonable» time in civil trials and the «fair process» guarantees' effectiveness.
