This tendency can easily be explained by the growing caseload of courts, as well as by the position of the European Court of Human Rights, related to the terms of investigation of civil cases. This tendency was also taken into account while preparing the new Code of Civil procedure of Lithuania.
From the standpoint of the aforementioned principles, one of the most important stages of civil procedure is the pre–trial stage. 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.
