The research group “Civil Procedure in Light of the 1988 Federal Constitution” aims to promote debates regarding controversial issues arising from a constitutional perspective on the 2015 Code of Civil Procedure. Research will preferably focus on new and/or controversial issues resulting from the understanding and application of new legal concepts introduced by the CPC. The central objective of the study group is debate and, as issues arise, the resulting academic and scientific output. Research will be developed based on classical and contemporary doctrine of Civil Procedural Law and Constitutional Law, and on the interpretation given by the Superior Courts to the new procedural legislation.
