tribunales, demandantes en serie, acceso a la justiciaResumen
Es muy conocido el fenómeno de los demandantes en serie. Este artículo se ocupa de dicho fenómeno en dos niveles, utilizando Israel como caso de prueba. Primero, analizamos el impacto de los demandantes en serie en el sistema judicial, y las respuestas institucionales que utiliza el sistema judicial para tratar con los demandantes en serie, así como el impacto, tanto positivo como negativo, que dichos demandantes en serie ejercen entre sí. En segundo lugar, analizamos los motivos personales de los demandantes en serie e identificamos sus denominadores comunes y sus diferencias. A ese respecto, el artículo ofrece un enfoque original, porque presenta el punto de vista de los demandantes en serie y la dimensión humana detrás de sus reclamaciones. Después, mostramos que los demandantes en serie no constituyen un grupo monolítico, y sugerimos que los tribunales deben tomar en cuenta las diferencias entre ellos. Además, proponemos la creación de herramientas sistemáticas que consideren los aspectos positivos y negativos de los demandantes en serie, para así llegar a un equilibrio entre la dotación óptima de recursos y el derecho de acceso a la justicia.
