Abstract
The article analyzes the issue of the effectiveness of procedure in small claims.
Following the introductory general qualifications on the small claim procedure,
legislative changes in small claim procedures are presented analytically. Statistics
are used to determine whether the aim of legislative changes has been achieved, the
aim being faster, more efficient and simpler resolution of cases in small claims and
reduction of the number of such cases. A comparative overview of the duration of
proceedings in Croatian and European small claims disputes is given. The existing
regulation of the procedure in small claims is critically analyzed and improvements
de lege ferenda are proposed in accordance with the solutions from the European
procedure in small claims.
