Resumen
- The main idea of this paper is the reiteration of a common sense truth concerning the appeal of the Courts of Justíce to consequentiaJistic arguments when making judicial decisions and even, in sorne cases, when justifying a judicial decision.
  
  There is an attempt here to verify it by means of sorne instances. The author also tries to explain and analyse it from a Philosophy of Law that has an analitical and sociologica] basis.
  
  A difference is noted between two different m.eanings of consequences, a) consequences as a structural element of rules and b) consequences relating to the predictable effects of judicial decisions.
  
  The author uses consequences in the second sense and takes into consideration how they work aiong the different stages of judicial decisions-making.
