IMPACT OF THE ELECTRONIC PROCEEDINGS BY WRIT OF PAYMENT REFORM ON THE POSSIBILITY OF ACHIEVING THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROCEDURE

Abstract

The purpose of this publication is to analyze the provisions on electronic proceedings by writ of payment (hereinafter also: EPU) in the context of the possibility of achieving the objectives and assumptions that were the reason for the introduction of the provisions on EPU to the Code of Civil Procedure. At the beginning of her deliberations, the author makes a short analysis of the origins of electronic proceedings by writ of payment and defines the objectives which the authors of the electronic proceedings by writ of payment have set for the proceedings. Then, the analysis of subsequent amendments to the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure until 2019 was conducted. The most extensive part of the study is a detailed analysis of the so-called large amendment to the Civil Procedure Law of 2019. The author criticises most of the solutions introduced, concluding that the amendment in question reduces the attractiveness of the proceedings in question and carries a serious risk of increasing the workload of courts of general jurisdiction.
