PROCEDURE MANAGEMENT PLAN – NEW INSTITUTE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE LAW
Abstract
The procedure management plan is a new institute of civil procedural law that was included into civil procedure by the Law on Amendments to the Civil Procedure Act (“Official Gazette” No. 80/2022, hereinafter ZID ZPP/22). As with most of the amendments from the above-mentioned law, the legislator had the intention of speeding up the litigation process and ensuring the concentration of the process as well as the maintenance of procedural discipline both on the side of the court and on the side of the litigants. This work is focused on the making plan and content of the process management plan itself, as well as potential problems related to the making plan and implementation of the plan itself. The procedure management plan should contain a summary of disputed facts and legal issues, evidence for determining disputed facts, a deadline for obtaining evidence that still needs to be obtained, a deadline for submitting written statements of the parties to the allegations of the opposing party and the expert’s witness findings and opinion, as well as the date and time of holding the main hearing, and if the main hearing is to be held at several hearings, the date and time of holding all subsequent hearings for the main hearing.
