Abstract

This paper analyzes specific provisions of the Civil Procedure Law concerning procedural rules in small-value claims litigation. Due to the normative redefinition and expansion of the concept of small-value claims litigation, courts of general jurisdiction most often follow the rules applicable to this special procedure. In small-value claims proceedings, the right to legal protection is not exercised through the standard (full) cognitive procedure, but through special rules designed to ensure that these cases are concluded efficiently and economically. Given the limitations in the scope of this paper, the analysis focuses on the specific features that characterize this procedure, which also determined the content of the paper.
