El proceso monitorio y su relación con el derecho comercial

Abstract

The order for payment procedure is a procedural mechanism introduced by the General Code of Procedure to allow for the expeditious collection of monetary obligations, under certain legal conditions. This academic work analyzes in detail its implementation and effectiveness in the context of Colombian Commercial Law, particularly in the northern region of the country. A mixed approach (qualitative and quantitative) is adopted to evaluate both the legal foundations and its practical application, the perceptions of legal and commercial actors, and the obstacles it faces. The objective is to offer a comprehensive and critical view of the order for payment procedure, framed within national standards. The research shows that, although significant progress has been made, structural and operational challenges remain that require institutional attention. Keywords: order for payment procedure, Commercial Law, monetary obligations, General Code of Procedure, mixed approach, northern Colombia.
