OVERVIEW
Generally speaking the justice system is inefficient- reflected most evidently in the excessive length of time for resolving cases. Delays are caused by high workloads but also by inefficient court processes, such as written proceedings, in-person notification, and the rotation of judges. All these factors have a negative impact on the duration of cases.
Timing
In some specific cases based on certain documents, the processes are faster to execute and less discussion. For example, cases with bills of exchange or promissory notes or public instruments. Therefore, it is important that legal advice is provided prior to any transaction.
Costs
The Court’s cost are those to be paid to file the lawsuit and those that may be paid during the lawsuit. these costs depends basically on the amount claimed. In general, the total cost of a process is not very high. The biggest cost is the fee to pay when a plaintiff requests to seize some defendant’s property in case he doesn´t comply with the final judgement. Other costs are the attorney´s fees which will depend on the agreement reached with the lawyer. Loser is forced to pay the lawsuit’s cost and the lawyer´s fees paid by the winner, although court may adjust the lawyer’s fee.
