Abstract

The procedural morality principle is one of the essential elements in the modern civil proceeding. Eduardo J. Couture’s thinking has been of great relevance in the doctrinaire develop-ment of good faith and procedural loyalty and also, in the way that it has been enshrined in the modern proce-dure codes. Duty of accuracy, eviden-tiary collaboration and the evidential value of the procedural behavior, represent the modern developments derive from the necessary moraliza-tion of the proceedings.Procedural morality; duty of accuracy; Collaboration; Couture; Procedural loyalty; Good Faith
