Service of court documents in civil proceedings to attorneys during the Covid pandemic- analysis of selected issues

The serving of court documents on parties to civil proceedings and their attorneysat-law is primarily regulated under the Act of 17 November 1964, the Code of Civil Procedure. However, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic some temporary solutions have been implemented by the legislator. Their role is to expedite communications between common courts and attorneys by using IT-based technology, and specifically, an e-service platform for serving court documents electronically. The aim of this paper is to analyze electronic service on attorneys in civil cases, and in particular, such issues as: which court papers may be delivered via the e-service platform, when should a document be deemed as served considering exceptions from the e-service rule, application of Article 134 of the Code of Civil Procedure to e-service of court documents and e-service in case of a multiple power of attorney.

Burden of proof in proceedings for compensation for damage caused by the movement of a motor vehicle

The study discusses the institution of the burden of proof in civil proceedings. The characteristics of this institution constituted an introduction to the transfer of general considerations to the proceedings for compensation for damage caused by the movement of a motor vehicle under compulsory third party liability insurance, in particular when it was preceded by a pre-trial proceeding concerning the determination of the facts of the event, the legitimacy of the reported claims and the amount of benefits provided by the insurance company. The analysis made it possible to formulate the rules for the distribution of the burden of proof in the trial depending on whether the insurer awarded a specific benefit under the winding-up proceedings.
