During the last years in the civil procedure of Western European countries the paramount importance is given to the principles of procedural economy, effectiveness and concentration.

This tendency was also taken into account while preparing the new Code of Civil procedure of Lithuania.

Thus the main target of this article is to disclose the novelties of the legal regulation of pre–trial stage in the new Code of Civil procedure. As any innovation is always related to the certain aims, the article also deals with the tasks, given to the pre–trial stage as well as certain problems of the present legal regulation.
