At the latest meeting of N&T’s Dispute Resolution Group, the participants discussed recent experiences of enforcement of pecuniary claims. In addition to the general introduction of the case and its background, the discussion covered, inter alia, practical experience gained during enforcement proceedings related to resolutions adopted by both state courts and arbitration courts, specificities of the procedural stages before the court as well as before the bailiff, and other procedural aspects and specifics relevant to the topic. Even if it looks simple to start an enforcement procedure and even looks more simple how to suspend or stop an ongoing enforcement, the actual practice of competent courts and bailiffs might become unexpectedly tricky requiring prompt actions and well prepared thinking.

N&T’s Dispute Resolution Group held its regular meeting where we discussed the expert proofing rules found in the new Code of Civil Procedure. Despite the challenges, our lawyers gained a deeper experience in the new regulation through various recent lawsuits especially through a complex, long-term damages claim case that we recently won at the first instance court, and which required several methods of applying experts, including experts appointed in other proceedings, the court appointment of experts, and the use of private expert reports.
