Sažetak
The Civil Procedure Act, which was in force throughout the entire SFRY, was adopted by the Republic of Croatia, by the Adoption of Legal Procedural Law ('Narodne Novine' 53/91) which čame into effect on October 8, 1991. It was amended by the law relating to the amendments to the Civil Procedure Act Amendments ('Narodne Novine' 91/92) which čame into effect January 8, 1993 and the Legal Procedural Law Amendments to the Civil Procedure Act ('Narodne Novine' 112/99) which čame into effect November 6, 1999.
The Republic of Croatia's legal system has changed greatly both in content and in terminology since the adoption of Civil Procedure Act. The Croatian Parliament therefore on July 14, 2003 brought in Legal Procedural Law Amendments (Narodne Novine 117/03) which čame into effect December l, 2003. This final amendment to the Civil Procedure Act brought in important changes and novelties to legal procedure.The extent of the changes is evident from the fact that the former law contained 512 articles whereas the law of 2003 contains 287 articles which amend the existing law. Therefore, the changes have encompassed more than half the provisions of the existing regulations. These important changes are particularly important if one considers that the Civil Procedure Act is the general and fundamental source of civil procedural law. Ali acts which determine specific civil court proceedings such as seizure of chattels, liquidation and family legal actions refer to the relevant application of the Civil Procedure Act provisions. The author's discussion is limited to those changes directly influenced by the European convention on the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms.
