Abstract
The lack of specific legal consequences in civil court proceedings as a result of failure to perform a specific act usually entails negative consequences for the party that was to perform that act. The court may, however, decide to restore the party's deadline for performing such an action, which the party is obliged to perform together with the application.
The decision to reinstate the deadline for carrying out a procedural act leads to the court recognising the existence of legal effects of such an act, even though it has already been carried out at the time of filing the application. The institution of restoring the deadline refers to a procedural act, and not to actions supplementing one of its formal elements or the payment of a fee.
The study will present the grounds for the motion and quote the Supreme Court rulings issued on this matter in recent years.
