Abstract
This report focuses on recommendations
for the improvement of civil procedure rules and selected
trial processes with the aim to increase procedural
efficiency and reduce bottlenecks in commercial case
processing in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The following aspects
of case processing are analyzed: (i) service of process;
(ii) hearings and adjournments; (iii) expert witnesses; (iv)
bankruptcy trustees; (v) court fees; (vi) internal court
rules; and (vii) use of Case Management System (CMS). The
accompanying recommendations are developed in response to
the existing legal framework that governs these selected
aspects of commercial case processing and rely on existing
good examples from Bosnia and Herzegovina courts, the
regulatory framework of countries that share the same legal
heritage as Bosnia and Herzegovina with a particular focus
on European Union and Council of Europe member states, the
European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) case law, as well as
recommendations and opinions of international institutions
on judicial efficiency.
