In the Chilean monitor procedure the judge is empowered to sentence without hearing the defendant. They wanted to assimilate this anticipated sentence to the judicial plea for payment of the European monitory forms. But in these, the resolution dictated inaudita altera parte it is not yet a sentence, since the stage of congnition is not complete until the term elapses so that the defendant could object. In contrast, in our monitory, the passivity od the loser serves no purpose in relation to the cognition, since the dispute is decided before even starting the course of the term for the opposition. Thus, the monitory procedure fails to circumvent the objection raised by
the constitutional rule according to which "any sentence of a court exercising jurisdiction must be
based on a previous process legally processed".
