The Master's thesis deals with the elements of the arbitral procedure that passed into the civil procedure in 2017 with the Act Amending the Contentious Civil Procedure Act (Zakon o dopolnitvi zakona o pravdnem postopku, ZPP-E). The arbitral procedure is considered a good example of a quick and effective procedure, which was taken into account in the dratfing of the Amending Act. Thus, in the legislative text, the drafters point out that the Amending Act relies on solutions from the arbitral procedure for quality decision making and process acceleration, referring to the Ljubljana Arbitration Rules as well as the ICC Rules of Arbitration.
The tendency toward a concentration of the litigation procedure was already present in the 2008 Act Amending the Contentious Civil Procedure Act (ZPP-D). Accordingly, the elements of arbitration that were transferred to the civil procedure by virtue of that Amendment Act are also discussed in the thesis.
The first and second parts present the main characteristics of the litigation and arbitral procedures, while the third part deals with the amendments to the Contentious Civil Procedure Act that come from the arbitral procedure. These elements are considered in terms of both the civil and arbitral procedures.
