NOVO UREĐENjE PARNIČNIH TROŠKOVA

The amendment to the Law on Civil Procedure from 2019 introduced certain novelties with regard to the costs of the procedure, which was intended to increase the level of efficiency in the resolution of court cases, and there was an intention that the procedures be conducted within a reasonable time, as well as that the parties, depending on their role in the procedure, bear responsibility for own actions and costs incurred during the procedure. In the article, the authors will refer to the conceptual arrangement of litigation costs and its components, authorized persons and those liable for reimbursement of costs, the final claim, the difference between preliminary and final bearing of the costs of litigation. The novelties introduced by the Novel will be analyzed with regard to the costs of the proceedings in the event of the loss of the litigation in its entirety and the responsibility of the intervener for the costs of the proceedings, reimbursement of costs in the case of partial success in the dispute, withdrawal of the lawsuit and waiver of the claim, and sanctioning of the parties, i.e. loss of the right to compensation costs if they do not attend the meeting to try to reconcile. At the same time, it will refer to the costs of the procedure in separate litigations and the compensation of expenses due to the participation of a temporary representative in the litigation.
