Abstract

The subject of the paper is the contradiction of the rules of civil procedure
for awarding costs in case of partial withdrawal of the lawsuit. The existence of
contradictions is established on the basis of the analysis of the rules for deciding on
the costs of civil proceedings in the case of partial withdrawal of the lawsuit and the
rules for awarding costs in the case of partial success in litigation. A hypothetically set
example shows what differences are made by applying these rules. Based on the rules
for the interpretation of the law lex specialis derogat legi generali and lex posterior
derogat legi priori, it is concluded that in case of partial withdrawal of the lawsuit, the
rules for awarding litigation costs in case of partial success should be applied.
