Abstract

Pojava pandemije virusa COVID-19 krajem 2019. godine pogodila je cijeli svijet i utjecala na sve aspekte ljudskog života pa tako i na gospodarstvo, ekonomiju, politiku, pravosudni sustav i cjelokupno društvo u Republici Hrvatskoj. Osim pandemije virusa, Republiku Hrvatsku su 2020. godine pogodila dva razorna potresa na području Grada Zagreba, Siska, Petrinje i okolice, u kojima su stradali brojni domovi građana, ali i zgrade državnih institucija u kojima su iste obavljale poslove iz svojeg djelokruga. Tijekom 2020. godine Vlada Republike Hrvatske, Hrvatska odvjetnička komora te sudovi donijeli su niz mjera, odluka i preporuka kojima su nastojali ublažiti posljedice pandemije COVID-19. Glavni fokus u ovom radu je utjecaj ovih izvanrednih okolnosti na hrvatsko pravosuđe, točnije kako su one utjecale na postupke pred općinskim sudovima u Republici Hrvatskoj; što se događalo s ročištima od trenutka potpunog lockdown-a pa sve do prilagođavanja "novom normalnom". Rad obuhvaća i razdoblje nakon lockdown-a, kakva je bila situacija s brojem predmeta i ročišta i prakticiranje ročišta na daljinu. Osim toga, u radu se pokušava dati odgovor na pitanje kakva je budućnost pravosudnog sustava te možemo li nešto naučiti iz proteklih tri godine; otvaraju li izvanredne okolnosti put ka modernizaciji parničnog postupka, hoće li u budućnosti zaživjeti održavanje ročišta na daljinu, te kako pripremiti pravnike na izvanredne situacije koje nam prijete u budućnosti.

Abstract (english)

The emergence of the COVID-19 virus pandemic at the end of 2019 affected the entire world and affected all aspects of human life, including the economy, politics, the judicial system, and the entire society in the Republic of Croatia. In addition to the virus pandemic, in 2020 the Republic of Croatia was hit by two devastating earthquakes in the area of the City of Zagreb, Sisak, Petrinja and the surrounding area, in which many homes of citizens were destroyed, as well as the buildings of state institutions where they performed their duties. During 2020, the Government of the Republic of Croatia, the Croatian Bar Association and the courts adopted a series of measures, decisions, and recommendations to mitigate the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. The main focus of this paper is the impact of these extraordinary circumstances on the Croatian judiciary, more precisely how they affected the proceedings before the municipal courts in the Republic of Croatia; what happened with the hearings from the moment of the complete lockdown until the adjustment to the "new normal". The paper also covers the period after the lockdown, what was the situation with the number of cases and hearings and the practice of remote hearings. In addition, the paper tries to answer the question of what the future of the justice system is and whether we can learn something from the past three years; whether extraordinary circumstances pave the way for the modernization of civil proceedings, whether holding remote hearings will come to life in the future, and how to prepare jurists for extraordinary situations that threaten us in the future.
