Abstract

The solutions which modify the provision of civil procedural law include Art. 14a of the Act of 2 March 2020 on special solutions relating to the prevention, counteraction and eradication of COVID-19, other infectious diseases and crisis situations caused by them, which introduced a category of urgent matters absolutely requiring recognition, as indicated in the justification for the draft amendment to the Act. In these cases, the procedural deadlines shall not be suspended and if the court competent to hear them has ceased to act because of COVID-19, it is possible to designate another court.This article analyses the provisions that define and relate to urgent matters, also in the context of applicable code regulations. Considered, in particular, has been the relationship between Art. 14a of the Act and Art. 173 of the Code of Civil Procedure, as well as inter-temporal effects relating to introduction and amendment of Art. 14a specU [1].
