Abstract

Upon request by the JURI Committee, this study provides an analysis of the operation of the Regulation for a European Small Claims Procedure. It examines the 2013 Commission proposal and its rationale for the changes while it also identifies a number of recommendations that should be included in the amendments of the Regulation. The study highlights that more efforts should be made in order to facilitate enforcement in consumer cases as well as in promoting and interconnecting out-of-court processes with the European Small Claims Procedure, particularly when these processes operate at national level and rely on distance means of communications.

Keywords: small claims, ADR, European Small Claims Procedure, ombudsman
