Keywords: principle of concentration, civil proceedings, Civil Procedure Code, Court of Appeal, process of evidencing
Abstract: The principle of concentration has been part of the Civil Procedure Code for over twenty years. To this day, it remains unclear if and to what extent is the concentration broken after the judgment is overruled by the Court of Appeal and the case is returned to the court of first instance for further proceedings. Is the concentration broken after the judgment of the Court of Appeal? And to what extent? What is the role of the Court of Appeal and what is the role of the court of first instance? The aim of this article is to review the issue in question and to discuss a possible solution.
