Summary Of Civil Procedure Of The First Instance Court: Preliminary Stage

A practical review of how court proceedings are conducted.

Firstly, the judge opens the court session, announces the case which is to be heard and gives permission to participants in the Court hall to sit down.

Then the secretary of the court will check attendance of the court session, those who are participating in the trial and will report to the judge which of the persons summoned for the case have appeared. If the claimant or respondent have not appeared in the court hearing, the secretary will check whether writs were served on the person who have not appeared, and reason to causes of their non-appearance.

After that, the court will check the identity of the participants appearing and the authorizations of officials and representatives.

Then, the judge announces the composition/components of the Court and introduces such as secretary of the court session, the interpreter, any experts and explains to all the parties, third parties and their attorneys and representatives who are taking part in the case and their right to withdraw any components of the Court. The judge also explains to the parties taking part in the case their rights and duties specified in law.

Afterwards, the judge asks if there are any requests from the parties. If any of parties has a request (such as to postpone the hearing etc), they will introduce it to the court and the judge will decide on it immediately. With respect to compiling new evidence and on all other questions connected with the case, everything will be decided by a judge immediately after hearing the opinions/requests of the parties taking part in the case.

The parties may present additional explanations and new evidence significant to the case resolution during the court session; if the court considers them to be important to the case and accepts them for further investigation, the judge may adjourn the court session.
