About this statute
This law sets the procedure for civil, commercial, labour, and administrative cases, and can also apply to other cases when no specific procedure law exists. A court may only accept a claim if the plaintiff has status, interest, and capacity to sue. Interested parties may begin an action, unless the law provides otherwise, and they may withdraw their claim before judgment or legal prescription. The subject matter of a claim is set by the parties’ pleadings and generally cannot be changed during trial or on appeal, unless all parties agree or the change comes through sufficiently linked additional claims. Parties to a case must do the duties imposed on them and complete case-related documents in the prescribed form and time.
