Procedures
The Civil Procedure Act with electronic enforcement of money claims
Litigation follows the Civil Procedure Act, with district and local courts divided by value and subject matter. Uncontested money claims are pursued through a centralised electronic enforcement system.
Key rules
- Enforcement on the basis of an authentic document is filed electronically at a central court department.
- Small claims follow a simplified procedure with restricted appeal grounds.
- Revision to the Supreme Court requires leave and a point of law of general significance.
Governing law
- Civil Procedure Act (Zakon o pravdnem postopku)
- Claim Enforcement and Security Act (ZIZ)
In practice
The centralised COVL department processes enforcement applications quickly, making it the standard route for invoice recovery.
