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.

Labor is something that is needed by an employing company in carrying out its economic activities. This can be seen in the constitutional arrangements of the Republic of Indonesia in Article 27 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. In the implementation of the working relationship between workers and the employing company, there are several rights and obligations that must be fulfilled between the two parties. Because there are provisions regarding work agreements that are differentiated based on the form of the agreement, each worker has different rights where these rights must be guaranteed by the company based on law. From this, the problems that will be examined are legal protection for workers with an unwritten work agreement at the employing company, as well as legal remedies that can be taken by workers with an unwritten agreement in the event of a violation of rights by the company. The research method used is normative legal research, namely legal research conducted by examining existing library materials. By examining problems by looking at existing regulations, and describing problems that occur in practice or in everyday life in society. From the research conducted, it was found that legal protection for workers with an unwritten work agreement at the employing company is regulated based on Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower where the basis is that the applicable work agreement is an indefinite work agreement so that the rights obtained under the provisions of the law. Then efforts that can be made if there is a violation of the law in work relations is based on Law Number 20 of 2004 concerning Industrial Relations Dispute Settlement, namely in the form of Bipartite, Tripartite (Mediation, Consoliation and Arbitration) negotiations, as well as through Trials at the Industrial Relations Court.

- Electricity markets in the Western Balkans are still not fully liberalized, so different of degrees electricity market openness can be observed from country to country and even within the country - Bosnia and Herzegovina is an obvious example. In Republika Srpska, the formal legal conditions for starting the process of opening the electricity market were met with the entry into force of the Law on Electricity in late 2007 and the Rulebook on Supplying Qualified Customers and the Procedure for Changing Suppliers, which entered into force in late 2014. However, the actual process of opening the electricity market did not begin until the Ordinance on Amendments to the Ordinance on the Supply of Qualified Customers and the Procedure for Changing Suppliers entered into force, which entered into force in March 2019. The paper first examines and analyses the activities carried out so far on the liberalization of the electricity market, and provides an assessment of achieved results. The necessary conditions and issues that arise before the further opening of the electricity market in the Republic of Srpska are further analysed. Finally, the most important activities that await all relevant actors, first the RS Government, then the line ministry and RERS, suppliers and businesses that actively participate in shaping the electricity market in order to prepare the market for further opening and meeting conditions for its successful completion were analysed in the text.

Abstract The objective of the paper is to create a concept of what securing the claim is, based on the positive legislation of Kosovo’s law, comparing its regulation with laws of somewhat similar legislations of neighbouring regions, understanding its implementation in practice, to achieve conclusions and remarks based on law, facts, practice, and the comparative aspect. The Civil Procedure Law in the Republic of Kosovo is regulated with contested, non-contested or enforcement procedure. Securing the claim is an institute expressively regulated by the “Law on Contested Procedure of the Republic of Kosovo” on its XXI Chapter that defines its means and types. Considering securing the claim measures are present in civil law to prevent any possible threat of protected rights until the final verdict is given, this paper tends to achieve a realization of how these measures practically succeed in actual cases, if they meet the criteria set in the law, or if securing the claim proposal is approved by the court, if they unintentionally restrain the respondent from using their rights. Moving forward, how one distinguishes claim security and interim measures from one-another although they describe the main concept, is strictly reviewed under this article, to finally achieve conclusions and remarks based on questions raised as above.

The article describes the progress of the investigation and the main mistakes of the preliminary investigation bodies in the well-known criminal case of the rape of an interrogator by three high-ranking police officers of the Republic of Bashkortostan in October 2018. The article considers the main investigative actions in a criminal case, such as interrogations, confrontations, and identifications, which were carried out with clear violations of the criminal procedure code of the Russian Federation and tactical techniques of criminology. The preliminary investigation authorities initially took the direction of the accusatory bias in the criminal case, not recognizing the arguments of the defense, which should have been checked. A certain significance in the case was played by the hype raised in the media, when the preliminary investigation bodies became hostages of constant public attention to this case. The court of first instance issued a guilty verdict in the case, because it did not analyze all the contradictions in the evidence, and even sent exculpatory evidence exclusively to the accusatory bias. The court of appeal issued an acquittal against the two defendants.

In a case, the court of appeal have interpreted the provisions of the law regarding the enforceable judgments delivered at first instance, with the right of appeal, or those in respect of which the parties agreed to directly exercise the appeal, when those interested or harmed by the enforcement can require the cancellation of the enforcement documents drawn up by violation of the legal provisions. The jurisprudence is not unanimous to consider the enforceability of the final civil decision is, however, a temporary one, until it is confirmed by the court of appeal, and it is removed when the court of appeal gives a contrary approach. One of the roles of the limitation is to provide the security of legal relationships, because after the expiry of the limitation period the debtor is satisfied that it can no longer be enforced, and the creditor knows that he no longer benefits from the coercive force of the state in order to recover his debt. On the other hand, to oblige the creditor to enforce a temporarily enforceable decision, about which he has no certainty that it will be upheld on appeal, means violating the very principle of the security of legal relationships, which the legislator intended to protect.

For a long time the bussines relations in the Republic of Srpska, and in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well, are burdened with lack of money, as a consequence of recession. Due to that there are a number of unpaid obligations and that makes our economic situation more complicated. This is the reason why the legislator of the Republic of Srpska in March of 2014 enacted the Law which regulate unique sistem of multirateral compensation and cession. But that Law is missing the provisions on judicial protection of rights of the legal subjects which appears as a participators of multilateral compensation and cession. This work is dedicated to that question. In the work its author point out on that defect, due to which the Law on the unique sistem of multilateral compensation in that part is not in accordance with article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights which, based on article 2 of the Constitutiona of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is dirrectly applicable in Bosnia and Herzegovina. After he pointed out on the shortage of judicial protection, the author gives his proposal how to eliminate this defect. This mean change of the subject which should be authorised for legal compensation in the Republic of Srpska. The author has also expressed his reserve with regard to the provisions in the Law related to the cession. This is because the cession is an institute of Contract law and, in contrast to the compensation, it depends (and should depend) exclusively of the individual will, and not of the solution imposed by the legislator. That is why this Law is in conflict with the Law on obligations since the Law on obligations does not know forced cession, and so this conflict leads to the disharmony in the legal order.
