About this statute

This provision says the law governs court procedure for civil, commercial, labour, and administrative cases, and for other cases when no special procedure applies. A court must not accept a claim if the claimant lacks standing, interest, or capacity to sue. Interested parties may start an action, and they may withdraw their claim before judgment or before it is prescribed, unless the law provides otherwise. The case’s subject matter is set by the parties’ claims, and parties cannot change it during trial without everyone’s agreement or on appeal. Additional claims may change it if they are sufficiently linked to the original claims. During trial, parties to a case must carry out the duties imposed on them and complete pleadings documents in the prescribed form and time. Judges may not decide cases by creating general rules, and they must not refuse to decide a case, even when the law is silent, unclear, or insufficient.
