The conception of civil procedure in the Slovak Republic

Abstract

This contribution offers a comprehensive analysis of the conception of civil procedure, all the way from the term itself through historical determinants, individual approaches and civil procedure in Europe up to the present. It discusses the need for the unified conception of civil procedure expressed in a consistent legislative form. The subsequent analysis of the specific institutes of the new civil procedural law in the Slovak Republic describes the correlation of Slovak civil procedure to the so-called social conception of civil procedure based on the codification of the Austrian Civil Procedure Code of 1895.
