AmCham comment on the Amendments to the Civil Procedure Act

AmCham supports civil procedure reform and recommends clarifications to improve legal certainty, procedural fairness, and court efficiency.

The American Chamber of Commerce in Croatia (AmCham) welcomes the proposed amendments to the Civil Procedure Act, aimed at streamlining and modernizing court proceedings. The position paper focuses on three key provisions: introduction of the unlawful evidence rule, limitations on unsolicited written submissions, and applying new rules to older cases. AmCham calls for clearer definitions, appeal rights on evidence rulings, and avoidance of unnecessary repetition of prior procedural steps. The goal is to preserve procedural fairness and ensure consistent application of law while accelerating case resolution.
