Abstract

The article analyzes the Argentine Supreme Court’s decision in “Vidal”, in which the highest court had to intervene because of a sustained conflict between panel III of the Federal Court of Criminal Cassation and the rest of the panels of that Court. That contradiction between panels also meant ignoring a controlling precedent from the Supreme Court itself (“Palero”). The work evidences, through the analysis of the Court’s discourse and of the precedents on point, certain deficiencies within mechanisms of uniformity of jurisprudence in federal courts as well as the unwillingness of judges to overcome them.
