Procedural acts of the Parties to the Proceedings Abstract The submitted diploma thesis is devoted to procedural acts of the parties to the proceedings, which we understand as every expression of will of a party to the proceedings as a result of which a civil procedural relationship arises, changes or ceases. As the title of the thesis suggests, main focus of the thesis are procedural acts of the parties to the proceedings, not participants in the proceedings. The term used in the current legislation is "participant in the proceedings", not "party to the proceedings", however, for the purposes of this thesis, the term "parties to the proceedings" denotes parties to the contentious proceedings, i. e. the claimant and the defendant.
