Procedures
The Civil Procedure Act with electronic filing and notary-run enforcement
Litigation follows the Civil Procedure Act, with mandatory electronic communication for lawyers. Uncontested money claims are commonly pursued through notaries and the Financial Agency rather than the courts.
Key rules
- Lawyers must file and receive documents electronically through the e-Communication system.
- Notaries issue enforcement writs on trustworthy documents, subject to objection.
- Revision to the Supreme Court is limited to questions of law of general importance.
Governing law
- Civil Procedure Act (Zakon o parničnom postupku)
- Enforcement Act (Zakon o izvršenju)
In practice
Enforcement against bank accounts runs through FINA, so a judgment creditor usually proceeds there rather than through a bailiff.
