This article examines a relatively new institute of Lithuanian civil proceedings – legal restrictions on the late submission of evidence in both first instance and appellate courts. These restrictions were first established in the new Civil Procedure Code (CPC) which was adopted by Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania on 28 February 2002 (entered into force on 1 January 2003). Until then such restrictions in Lithuanian civil procedure law were not known from the time of famous Statutes of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Therefore, it seems natural that this innovation has paved the way for its real application in the courts for more than a decade. This article provides a consistent analysis of the case law (starting with the rulings of the Supreme Court of Lithuania in which the restrictions established in the law were practically denied, and up to the rulings of the last year, which already recognized the right of the courts in certain cases to refuse to accept evidence which was submitted too late). This article also reveals the aims of the CPC authors which were aimed at establishing the first instance court’s right to refuse to accept evidence which was submitted too late and system of limited appeal which establishes a general prohibition (with certain exceptions) to present evidence that was not examined in the court of first instance. One of the most important aims is the concentration of the proceedings, the prevention of abuse of procedural rights and the establishment of the first instance as the main judicial instance. The appeal procedure in the new CPC is already regarded not as a repetition or continuation of the proceedings at first instance, but as a review of the legality and validity of an existing, albeit unenforced, decision of the court of first instance. The author acknowledges that although it took a long time for the relevant provisions of the law to be actually applied in the case law, today their application is already noticeable in the daily work of courts. This leads to the conclusion that Lithuanian courts have adapted to the new CPC system and its philosophy.

Brčko District has its own, special courts, and its own laws, which differ from the laws of the entities. The Law on Civil Procedure of Brčko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina was drafted and influenced by the Law on Civil Procedure of the Republic of Srpska and Law on Civil Procedure of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, the Law on Civil Procedure of Brčko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina has introduced many novelties which arc listed in this paper, through the systematization of the law. Differences are remarkable and consist of different regulation of the procedural efficiency, introduction of the court of appeal, different regulation of principles of discussion and investigation, incorporation of the trial before one judge in the court of first instance, lack of the court's obligation to teach ignorant party. There are major discrepancies in the preparation of main hearings and main hearings, in the mediation procedure and structure and nature of the legal remedies.

Imperator contra praedones Some Remarks on the Illegality of the lex GabiniaSummaryIn 67 BC Aulus Gabinius, a tribunus plebis, proposed a law appointing an imperator to deal with the pirates of the Mediterranean area. The law was passed as lex Gabinia de uno imperatore contra praedones constituendo and the senate was asked to choose the right candidate. The only possible choice was Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, the most talented and famous general of the time. The senators opposed so violently that Gabinius was almost killed. Thus, another assembly was called which appointed Pompey to the task. His campaign against the pirates was amazingly fast and successful.There are several reasons for treating this case as a deviation from the republican constitution. Firstly, the imperium was given for a period of three years which was unusually long time for an extraordinary command. Secondly, the general was given power on the whole Mediterranean area, equal to this of the provincial governors. Thirdly, he could choose his own legati which was a case unknown to the republican system. Moreover, it was the first time when an extraordinary command was given by the concilia plebis regardless the senatorial opposition.The case of lex Gabinia was one of Pompey’s numerous victories over the republic. Notwithstanding, he managed to persuade everyone to picture himself as a hero and defender o f the republic.

Trial within a reasonable time is a legal standard established to shorten lengthy court proceedings that have become a global problem. Their purpose is to create the most efficient judicial system possible without compromising the principle of fairness. A significant step towards that goal is the Law on the Protection of the Right to Trial within a Reasonable Time, which was passed in the Republic of Serbia in 2015. By applying this law, a combined system of protection of this right was adopted, in which protection is realized during the duration of the procedure but also after the end of the procedure. The aim of this paper is to consider the level of protection of this right in Serbia due to the adoption of the Law on Protection of the Right to Trial within a Reasonable Time.

On the basis of the analysis of the rules of the Code of Civil Procedure of Ukraine governing proceedings on appeals against decisions of arbitration courts, and taking into account scholars’ points of view on this issue, the article investigates the procedure for commencing proceedings in cases of the relevant category and preparing them for judicial review. The author argues that it is advisable to consider commencement of appellate proceedings against the decisions of arbitration courts as a separate stage of civil proceedings that has a specific procedural purpose, structure and deadlines clearly defined by the law. Attention is drawn to the unreasonable refusal to commence proceedings in the event of an appeal against a decision made by an arbitration court on the grounds not provided for by the law. In this part, it is noted that the decision on the presence or absence of the grounds for setting aside an award made by the arbitration court, according to Part 3 of Article 457 of the Code of Civil Procedure of Ukraine, is taken when considering the case in court. Thus, refusing to commence proceedings on the basis of Part 8 of Article 454 of the Code of Civil Procedure of Ukraine, the court actually makes a decision on the substance out of court. With respect to the abovementioned, it is suggested to specify the rules of Part 8 of Article 454 of the Code of Civil Procedure of Ukraine. Considering the procedure for preparation of cases on appeals against decisions of arbitration courts, the author focuses his attention on the progressive nature of the provisions of Article 456 of the Code of Civil Procedure of Ukraine. It establishes the right of a competent court on its own initiative to ask the arbitration court for the necessary case materials concerning the grounds for setting aside the arbitral award. The implementation of this approach creates the conditions for further fair trial. At the same time, the consideration of cases on appeals against the decisions of arbitration courts in the order of simplified procedure according to the current version of the Code of Civil Procedure of Ukraine, in the author’s opinion, limits the parties’ possibilities for a compromise solution to the dispute. Emphasis is placed on the reasoning of further improving the legislation in terms of empowering the parties to conciliate procedures, at the stage of preparation of cases for trial.

Copyright, for a long time has not been regulated or protected at the desired level. The right on intellectual property, as a right of a particular kind and as the right of non-material property, is of particular importance for the contemporary reality.The copyright, in its content, enjoys the rights of personal and property nature. The natural rights, for a long time, have been characterized as very personal rights that relate to the creator of the work itself. This has probably been because in the early times it was impossible the multiplication of the author's work because the handwriting of the work has been a rare process and difficult. Later, with the invention of the typing machine, it was noticed that the works can be easily multiplied, as such came the need to protect the authors and their rights by providing to the authors reward in the case when their work is violated.Property rights are inseparable rights for the authors, which often serve also as stimulus for the creation of new works, but also provide reward for the effort given on the creation of the work.Law on Copyright of theRepublicofKosovois in accordance with the rules of the European Union, but the judicial practice is not in accordance with the Law. This happens because in the reality, the property rights and the moral rights are subject to violations, and as a result is violated even one of the primary and contemporary goals: the law should serve as an incentive for the authors to write and on the other side to satisfy the public with the scientific works.As such, the research objective of this paper is to present the property rights of copyright, the basics of the transfer of these rights, studied also at the comparative aspect.

This article analyzes the issues related to the admissibility of audio recordings in Lithuanian civil proceedings and arbitration. The study critically evaluates the statutory law, case law and legal doctrine related to the admissibility of audio recordings. The study reveals that the case law of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Lithuania on the admissibility of audio recordings has to be improved on the application of the criteria of admissibility of audio recordings and on the protection of privacy. Meanwhile in Lithuanian arbitration law, it is suggested to waive the arbitration court’s discretion to decide on the possible approaches to the admissibility of an illegally made audio recording and to follow the view that an illegally made audio recording is per se inadmissible.

This chapter gives an overview of the law on contract formation and third party beneficiaries in Cambodia. Much of the discussion is tentative since the new Cambodian Civil Code only entered into force from 21 December 2011 and there is little case law and academic writing fleshing out its provisions. The Code owes much to the Japanese Civil Code of 1898 and, like the latter, does not have a requirement of consideration and seldom imposes formal requirements but there are a few statutory exceptions from the principle of freedom from form. For a binding contract, the agreement of the parties is required and the offer must be made with the intention to create a legally binding obligation and becomes effective once it reaches the offeree. The new Code explicitly provides that the parties to the contract may agree to confer a right arising under the contract upon a third party. This right accrues directly from their agreement; it is not required that the third party declare its intention to accept the right.

AbstractNeither in England, nor in Germany, nor in all Canadian provinces, does the law provide specific rules for the redistribution of property for unmarried cohabitants after the breakdown of their relationship. Instead, courts apply the law of trusts, contract and unjust enrichment with an eye to the characteristics of intimate relationships, as, for example, in decisions like the EnglishJones v Kernott([2011] UKSC 53) and the CanadianKerr v Baranow(2011 SCC 10). This article compares English, Canadian, and German case law and evaluates it both from a doctrinal perspective and as a part of a general approach towards cohabitation. The article concludes with an appeal for legislative action that strikes the right balance between party autonomy and protection of the weaker party.

The Act on the Protection of the Right to a Trial within a Reasonable Time, which took effect in 2016, has created the conditions in our legal system for the protection of the right to a trial within a reasonable time, as one of the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia and related international documents. Although the legislator does not explicitly provide for the application of this Act in the context of bankruptcy proceedings, it has been used in judicial practice as a mean for the bankruptcy creditors to obtain just satisfaction in cases involving lengthy bankruptcy proceedings and a violation of the right to a fair trial within a reasonable time. The subject matter of analysis in this paper is the right to a trial within a reasonable time in bankruptcy cases. For that purpose, the authors examine the case law of the Commercial Court in Niš in the period from the beginning of 2016 to the end of 2019, particularly focusing on the bankruptcy cases in which complaints (objections) were filed for the protection of the right to a fair trial within a reasonable time. The aim of the research is to examine whether the objection, as an initial act, is a suitable instrument for increasing the efficiency of the bankruptcy proceeding, or whether it only serves to satisfy the interests of creditors. The authors have also examined whether this remedy affects the overall costs and duration of the bankruptcy proceeding. The main finding is that there is an increasing number of objections in the Commercial Court in Niš, which still does not affect the length and costs of bankruptcy. This trend is not only the result of inactivity of the court and the complexity of certain cases but also of numerous external factors, the most prominent of which is the work of some state bodies.

This paper deals with the problems related to the legal position of honest and dishonest possessors in relation to the owner of things, that is, it analyses the rights belonging to the possessors of things and the demands that possessors may require from the owners of things to whom the possessors must submit those things. Also, in contrast, the rights and requirements are analysed of the owners of things in relation to honest and dishonest possessors. In practice, a dilemma arises in defi ning the essential and benefi cial expenditure incurred by honest possessors, what the presumptions are for and until when the right of retention may be exercised for the sake of remuneration of that expenditure, when the statute of limitations expires on that claim, and the signifi cance of the provisions of the Civil Obligations Act in relation to unjust enrichment, management without mandate and the right of retention, and which provisions regulate these or similar issues. The answers to some of these dilemmas have been provided in case law, and therefore the basic method used in the paper was analysis and research of case law, especially decisions by the Supreme Court of the Republic of Croatia. The introduction to the paper provides the basic characteristics of the concept of possession and possession of things, and the type and quality of possession, to provide a basis for the subsequent analysis of the legal position of the possessor of a thing in relation to the owner of that thing.
