Abstract

The task of the Supreme Courts and the Constitutional Courts has undergone an evolution through years of history, from its classic reactive role to a more proactive one, which prevails in the current models.
In this article, the author analyzes this evolution describing the roles -and their basis- of control of legality, as a classical function, and to give meaning
to the normative text and complete the meaning of the legislative document with binding precedents, as a contemporary function. The author completes
the analysis focusing on the overruling and its application in Perú.
