Florian Grießer: Strukturierter Parteivortrag im digital geführten Zivilprozess, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The digitalization of civil proceedings improves the framework conditions for a structured presentation of the parties' submissions. Building on existing approaches that require the parties to structure their statements of case, Florian Grießer develops a structuring concept that generates a tabular overview of the entire procedural communication. This concept is distinguished by the fact that it grants the parties the greatest possible freedom of presentation while simultaneously enabling the spatial alignment of substantively related content. An individual sorting function, in particular, eliminates the need for the defendant to adhere to the claimant's structure-a requirement commonly found in comparable proposals. Such a structuring concept must be safeguarded through enforcement mechanisms. In Grießer's model, sanctions serve as instruments of judicial case management to achieve multiple objectives. They must be effective and, at the same time, compatible with constitutional principles, should entail only minimal administrative effort, and should impose the negative consequences of non-compliance on the responsible party or even on their legal counsel. Drawing inspiration from sanctions in English civil procedure, the author designs a three-stage, escalating enforcement system: if a request for revision remains unheeded, the party must index its submission with keywords and bear additional court and solicitor's fees. If a submission is incorrectly indexed and overlooked by the court, a preclusion sanction is imposed in the subsequent instance.
