The contributions discuss whether, and how the regulation and practice of preparatory proceedings enhance swift civil justice that is both inexpensive and has quality outcomes. A central question is whether the main hearing model of civil justice, in which preclusion of new evidence and claims occur at the end of the preparatory stage, results in greater efficiency, or whether the functioning of civil proceedings largely depends on other factors. It also\nexamines regulation and use of court-connected mediation and judicial\nsettlement efforts. This book offers comparative insights into the functioning\nof the preparatory civil proceedings in the countries covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Preparatory proceedings are considered a key tool for achieving efficient civil\nproceedings. The claims and factual background of the case are clarified at an\nearlystage, and the main hearing is focused. Judicial settlement efforts and\ncourt-connected mediation contribute to early resolution of cases, and are\nimportant elements of Nordic civil procedure The Nordic countries have used the\nmain hearing model of civil proceedings for some decades, and recent reforms\nhave further enhanced the role of the preparatory stage. Former communist\ncountries are reforming their earlier piecemeal- format civil proceedings by\nintroducing and strengthening written and oral preparation, as well as court-connected mediation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-04-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319293233\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-29325-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 250.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45606102990988,"sku":"9783319293233","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319293233.jpg?v=1767722505","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319293233","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
