Publisher's Synopsis
Of all the branches of legal practice, it is civil procedure that varies the most from one jurisdiction to another. Any party contemplating a civil action in a foreign country is well advised to become familiar with the basic forms and concepts of procedural law in that jurisdiction.;This work provides that essential knowledge for Denmark. It offers the legal practitioner the knowledge to proceed confidently and avoid pitfalls as he or she deals with such matters as business disputes, property rights, family and estate affairs, real estate, bankruptcy or the testing of certain administrative decisions in Denmark.;The author describes and analyses the rules applicable to civil procedure under the Administration of Justice Act (Retsplejeloven, or Rpl) with detailed attention where appropriate to the major reform of Danish procedural law now under way. The important human rights dimension of Danish civil procedure is also emphasized, as Rpl continues to be amended to bring it into line with the European Convention on Human Rights.
