Prispevek obravnava vpliv novele E Zakona o pravdnem postopku na položaj odvetnika v pravdi. Spremembe postopka priprave za glavno obravnavo so analizirane pod predpostavko, da je predvidljivost poteka postopka ključna za odvetniško delo. Avtor ugotavlja, da cilj novele ni bil dosežen, vendarle pa bi novela lahko imela večji praktični učinek, če bi bil namen njenih določb dosledneje spoštovan. Prispevek obravnava tudi nekatere spremembe instituta vročanja in novosti, usmerjene v izboljšanje položaja strank glede postavljanja zahtevkov in dokazovanja. Sklepni del podaja kratko analizo glavnih sprememb v postopkih s pravnimi sredstvi.

The article considers the effect of amendment E of the Civil Procedure Act on the position of the party’s counsel in a litigation. The amendments to trial preparation are analysed under the assumption that it is the predictability of the process that is key for counsel work. The author finds that the amendment failed to reach this goal, but a greater practical effect of the amendment could nevertheless be achieved should the purpose of its provisions be more consistently honoured. The article also considers certain changes regarding the service of documents and the novelties aimed at improving the parties’ position regarding the making of claims and presenting of evidence. It concludes with a brief analysis of the changes in the legal remedies procedures.
