Delays and Backlogs in Civil Procedure. A (South East) European Perspective
This paper presents the current situation of procedural delays in Croatia and its origins. In the first part, a number of indicators of judicial crisis caused by high backlogs and delays are presented. The second part inquires into responsibility of the parties and their lawyers for procedural delays. The attempts to strengthen procedural discipline and introduce stricter sanctions for abusive and vexatious behaviour in the past decade are outlined and assessed, eg. related to limitation of abusive challenges of judges, manifestly ill-founded requests for the transfer of jurisdiction and the restrictions on introduction of new facts and evidence. Finally, the paper discusses the impact of the current system of lawyers' fees and whether legal culture can be taken as an important generator of delays in civil procedure.
