By 31.12.2022, a large number of potential claims are once again at risk of becoming time-barred. An effective and inexpensive way of suspending the limitation period for claims is to initiate conciliation proceedings before a state-recognized dispute resolution body (also known as a conciliation office). If the application for conciliation is received by a state-recognized dispute resolution body before the end of 31.12.2022, the limitation period for a claim can be suspended. An application for conciliation can be submitted by fax or via a lawyer using a special electronic lawyer’s mailbox (beA). If you have any questions regarding the filing and submission of a conciliation application, please contact the CenaCom office or a lawyer. As a state-recognized dispute resolution body, CenaCom is committed to absolute impartiality and neutrality. For this reason, CenaCom employees are not permitted to provide advice or support in the formulation of conciliation applications. In all other cases, we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
