Abstract

On July 19, 2022, the Law on Amendments to the Law on Civil Procedure entered into force, which, among other things, seeks to establish a normative, technological and organizational framework that will contribute to the reduction in number of pending cases and shortening of the duration of civil proceedings, as well as focusing on transparent and effective management of the judicial system, including the introduction of obligatory audio recording of the hearing and the new arrangement of records in civil proceedings.

The new provisions regulating records in civil proceedings will enter into force with the adoption of a decision by which the minister responsible for judicial affairs will determine whether the technical requirements for a sound recording of hearings in certain courts are met, and this decision must be made by October 1, 2024. The technical conditions, the method of recording, the method of storage and access to the audio recording, as well as other issues related to the audio recording of hearings, will be regulated in the ordinance by the minister responsible for judicial affairs.
