The master's thesis deals with the subject of the sanctioning of the parties in civil litigation and a comparison with the Croatian rules of this issue. In the introduction, the rules on the sanctioning of the parties in the Civil Procedure Act, their purpose and the reasons why this issue is relevant are generally presented. The fundamental principles of civil procedure, which are the basis for the sanctioning, are also presented, and the hypothesis is put forward that, despite the fact that this institute is still necessary in our legal system, the judicial and legislative branches of power should continue its development, regulate it more intensively and use other methods to achieve the same goals and establish mechanisms to strengthen the public's trust in the judiciary. In order to determine whether the Slovenian system of the sanctioning of the parties is appropriate and effective, a comparison with the Croatian system is used and accompanied by suggestions of possible improvements and development of this institution. The core of the master's thesis initially focuses on the presentation of constitutional rights related to this issue, and then shifts to the legal regulation in the Civil Procedure Act, namely Articles 11, 109 and 304, which are also complemented by case law and comments on their suitability. This is followed by a chapter on the Croatian system, which contains an analysis of the relevant legal articles, and is also equipped with summaries of case law and conclusions from the comparison with the Slovenian legal order. The presented viewpoints enable the reader to conclude how the goal of maintaining the authority and reputation of the judiciary can be effectively achieved with the help of relevant legal procedural institutes, what role individual participants in the proceedings and the external actors play, what are the advantages and disadvantages of different legal rules, and finally get acquainted with the suggestions for the further development of this institute.
