Our associates, Iphigenia Fisentzou and Christina Lougkridou, have contributed to the first comprehensive legal textbook dedicated to the New Civil Procedure Rules of Cyprus, introduced in 2023; a milestone reform in the country’s civil justice system.
The book, Κυπριακή Πολιτική Δικονομία, is the product of a collaborative effort by a team of distinguished legal practitioners and academics. It offers in-depth analysis of key aspects of civil procedure, including the structure of the courts, the right to a fair trial, procedural steps before the courts, and alternative dispute resolution methods. Special emphasis is given to the 2023 Rules, which replaced the long-standing previous regime and aim to modernise and streamline civil proceedings.
Iphigenia served also as a member of the editorial team and authored the chapter on “The Overriding Objective”, co-authored the chapter on “The Court’s Powers”, and, together with Christina, co-authored the chapter on “Costs”.
Designed as a practical guide for judges, lawyers, students, and all those involved in the Cypriot civil justice system, this publication provides essential insights into the updated procedural framework and serves as a valuable resource for navigating the new legal landscape.
More information about Κυπριακή Πολιτική Δικονομία, including details on its content and availability, can be found on the publisher’s website.
We congratulate all contributors on this significant achievement and look forward to the positive impact this work will have on legal practice in Cyprus.
