One-Session Court
Introduced in 2017, the One-Session Court provides rapid resolution of civil and commercial disputes in just one hearing.
Unlike traditional court procedures, the case is fully prepared beforehand and then decided immediately by the judge during a single court session. If dissatisfied, parties typically retain the right to appeal through regular channels.

Small business disputes
Efficiently deliberates business-related conflicts involving well-documented transactions, like unpaid deliveries or clearly defined contractual obligations.
Other eligible quick lawsuits
