Thesis is written based on research that is largely based on available literature in the English language, and is divided into several sections. The thesis deals with object and purpose of the proceedings, the court's jurisdiction , the course of the procedure, a judgment and it’s recognition and enforcement, the implementation process in the Member States, a proposal to amend Regulation and the relationship with the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure. A European small claims procedure is one of the instruments of the „second generation“ that aims at enhancing cross-border enforcement in the European Union. In the context of the objectives of assuring access to justice and of seeking the creation of the area of freedom, security and justice in the European Union, the European small claims procedure has the key aim of simplifying and speeding up litigation across borders within the European union in claims of low value and thus of reducing the costs of such litigation between the member states
