Abstract
In practice, we often encounter cases where the court in charge does not recognise the legal representation provided during the non-litigation proceedings at the stage of the judicial remedy as a service that can be remunerated with attorney's fees and takes the position that the party is obliged to bear the costs incurred in this respect and cannot pass them on to the opposing party. The paper explores these anomalies in the context of the judicial remedies in relation to the notarial probate proceedings and enforcement proceedings by bailiffs as civil non-contentious proceedings, focusing on judicial practice. The author's aim is to explore whether the current approach of the judiciary is in line with the relevant existing legal provisions or whether there is a misinterpretation of the law.
