This procedure is characterized by its speed and simplicity, and is designed to resolve disputes of lower economic value efficiently. Below are the main stages of this process: the claim, the defence, and the hearing.✍️ 1. The Claim: Starting Point of the Procedure The procedure begins with the submission of a claim to the competent court of first instance. This claim can take two forms: • Ordinary claim: when the amount exceeds 2,000 euros, the involvement of a lawyer and court representative is mandatory. • Brief claim: if the amount does not exceed 2,000 euros, the claimant may file the claim personally, without legal representation. The claim must include a clear statement of facts, legal grounds, and the specific relief requested from the court. Although standard forms are not mandatory, many court registries offer templates that help with drafting, especially for claims under 2,000 euros. 2. The Defence: Respondent’s Right to Contest Once the claim is admitted, the court notifies the respondent, who has a deadline to submit a written defence. This document must include: • Acceptance or denial of the facts alleged by the claimant. • Legal grounds for the defence. • Evidence intended to be used. As with the claim, if the amount exceeds 2,000 euros, the defence must be signed by a lawyer and a court representative. Otherwise, the respondent may appear in person. It is important to note that failure to respond does not result in automatic acceptance of the claim. Instead, the respondent is declared in procedural default, and the case proceeds to judgment. 3. The Hearing: Concentration of Procedural Activity The verbal trial usually concludes with an oral hearing, unless the judge deems it unnecessary due to the clarity of the case or lack of opposition. The hearing involves the following stages: • Resolution of preliminary procedural issues. • Presentation of evidence proposed and admitted. • Final arguments from both parties. Evidence is proposed orally and examined during the same session, contributing to the expedited nature of the process. The judge may adopt measures to ensure equal participation for persons with disabilities, those over 65 who request it, or individuals over 80, who also have the right to priority processing. Judgment and Costs After the hearing, the judge issues a written, reasoned judgment, meeting the same formal requirements as in any other procedure. Legal costs are imposed on the party whose claims were entirely dismissed, unless the judge finds the case involved serious factual or legal uncertainty. ________________________________________ Although simplified, this procedure requires technical accuracy and knowledge of the applicable legal framework. Therefore, even for small claims, it may be advisable to seek legal counsel to ensure effective defence of the interests at stake. ✨ ⚖️ Welcome to the Online Civil Process offered by MCHM Lawyers.
