Abstract

In this gloss the author critically evaluates a Regional Court decision concerning admissibility of making an entry in the register on the basis of a document certified to be a true copy by the professional attorney acting in the case. To support this position the author refers to the purpose of the procedural institution of certifying that a document is a true copy of the original, and also underlines specificity of registration proceedings and actually restricted to documentary evidence carried out by the registration court. The author briefly outlines the nature and procedure for certifying a copy of a document by a professional attorney and points out certain differences with certification by a notary public. With a view to the principle of transactional security, in conclusion the author proclaims himself against admissibility of applying Art. 129 in connection with Art. 13 § 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure in registration proceedings, especially with regard to documents on which an entry in the register is based.
