In the Georgian business environment, lengthy legal disputes can significantly hinder commercial activities and delay the administration of justice. To address this problem, the Civil Procedure Code of Georgia offers an effective alternative — simplified proceedings. This mechanism is an expedited, document-oriented path to justice, designed for claims where solid written evidence forms the basis of the dispute. It is the best legal instrument for creditors and plaintiffs who seek to restore their rights quickly and efficiently.
In essence, simplified proceedings represent "documentary justice." It is based on the principle that when written evidence, such as a duly issued promissory note, a check, or a leasing agreement, unequivocally confirms an obligation, the legal process should not be burdened with excessive formalities. Its purpose is to resolve the substantive legal conflict quickly, expedite the real protection of the creditor's rights, and ensure procedural economy. Unlike general litigation, this process minimizes procedural stages and relies on the evidentiary power of documents to establish legal facts, culminating in the issuance of a court order or decision.
Legal Sandbox Georgia has an in-depth understanding of all the nuances of simplified proceedings provided for by the Civil Procedure Code of Georgia. Our team of lawyers meticulously distinguishes this specific proceeding from the general rules of case consideration. Success in these cases — whether it is the enforcement of a promissory note or the resolution of disagreements between partners — depends on flawless documentation and strict adherence to nuanced procedural rules. Our services go beyond mere document submission; we offer strategic consultation to ensure your case is managed to achieve the fastest and most favorable outcome possible under the law.
Our competence covers all categories of cases subject to simplified proceedings as defined by Georgian legislation. These include: claims arising from promissory notes and checks, cases concerning the return of a leased object to the possession of the lessor, cases on the mandatory sale of shares, and claims for damages caused by specific torts.
It is particularly important that our services extend to the highly specialized corporate proceedings provided for by the Law of Georgia on Entrepreneurs and the Civil Procedure Code. This is one of the main directions of our practice, dealing with critical internal corporate disputes. We assist partners (shareholders) in exercising their rights, such as petitioning the court to compel the convening of an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders or the addition of an issue to the agenda. Furthermore, our team professionally handles sensitive issues such as the recall of a member of the supervisory board through the court.
We assist our clients at every stage of the process, from the initial assessment of the claim's validity to the enforcement of the court act, in order to effectively protect their interests. By choosing Legal Sandbox Georgia, you are choosing a company for which legal precision is not a goal, but a standard of work.
