Abstract

835
This paper analyzes the figures of Judicial Vicar and Instructor in the marriage annulment process, in light of the amendments enacted by Mitis Iudex. The various stages of the process are discussed, focusing on the role of the Judicial Vicar in each: admission of the application, notification, determining the formula of doubt, decision about the appropriate procedure, execution of the judgment. Special attention is paid to the abbreviated process before the bishop, the key novelty brought about by the Pope Francis reform; and the first instances of its application in ecclesiastical courts are taken into account. The final part of the paper addresses the role of the Instructor.
