Some customers’ opinions:

Maestranza Alcaíno Ltda.: "We have started businesses with international companies, which have required faithful technical and legal translations. We have efficiently accomplished this task with Renata Quintana's services."

B&B Périgord: "We have commissioned the translation of our web site to Renata Quintana with excellent results. She has perfectly managed the web technology, giving us an accurate translation either in Spanish and English."

The Court has established two principles in this area. One is that the Commission's decisions by which applications are accepted are without appeal; the other is that, once a case is referred to it, the Court is endowed with full jurisdiction and may determine questions as to admissibility previously raised before the Commission (see, inter alia, the X and others judgment of 6 September 1978, Series A no. 28, p. 17, para. 32). A combination of these principles shows that, when considering such questions, the Court is not acting as a court of appeal but is simply ascertaining whether the conditions allowing it to deal with the merits of the case are satisfied.

A submission by a Government to the Court that an application is manifestly ill-founded does not in reality raise an issue concerning those conditions. It amounts to pleading that there is not even a prima facie case against the respondent State.

Al respecto, el Tribunal ha establecido dos principios. En primer lugar, que las decisiones de la Comisión por las cuales se aceptan las demandas no tienen apelación; en segundo lugar, una vez que se remite un caso al Tribunal, éste tiene plena competencia y puede determinar cuestiones relacionadas con la admisibilidad previamente presentadas ante la Comisión (ver, inter alia, X y otros, juicio del 6 de septiembre de 1978, Serie A, Nº 28, pág. 17, párrafo 32). La combinación de estos principios demuestra que, al considerar dichas cuestiones, el Tribunal no está operando como Corte de Apelaciones, sino que simplemente está determinando si se cumplen las condiciones que le permiten tratar el caso conforme a sus fundamentos.

Una alegación presentada por un Gobierno ante el Tribunal en cuanto a que una demanda está manifiestamente mal fundada, en la práctica, no da origen a un incidente respecto de dichas condiciones. Equivale a afirmar que, prima facie, ni siquiera hay elementos para fundamentar una acción en contra del Estado demandado.
