Abstract

The paper examines six procedural situations in which special provisions of the Civil Procedure Act regulate the possibility of requesting separate compensation for costs caused to one of the parties during the proceedings by the actions of the opposing party attributable to its guilt/occurrence associated with that party. It is a matter of reimbursement of costs caused by fi ling an (inadmissible or) unfounded request for disqualifi cation of a judge, fi ling a motion for reinstatement, obstructing the service and its improper performance, untimely presentation of new facts and proposing new evidence and untimely submission of procedural briefs. After the analysis of the mentioned institutes, an attempt is made to determine their content de lege lata and to propose legislative corrections (de lege ferenda).
