JUDICIAL CONCENTRATION OF PROCEEDINGS IN THE LIGHT OF THE SETTLEMENT OF FACTS BASIS OF ADJUDGMENT IN CIVIL DISPUTE PROCEEDINGS Koncepcia silného sudcu v aktuálnom poňatí civilného sporového konania, ktorá korešponduje s princípom arbitrárneho poriadku podľa čl. 10 Civilného sporového poriadku, dáva súdu možnosť "režírovať" priebeh súdneho konania, a to najmä záväznými pokynmi pre sporové strany, ako aj určovaním lehôt na ich realizáciu. Tento aspekt sporového procesu kladie veľký dôraz na procesnú diligenciu sporových strán, ktoré sú v prevažnej miere zodpovedné za výsledok sporu. Sudcovská koncentrácia konania umožňuje súdu sankcionovať nehospodárne správanie sa strán v prípade, že prostriedky procesného útoku a procesnej obrany uplatnia oneskorene. The concept of a strong judge in the current concept of civil litigation, which corresponds to the principle of homogeneity of the civil proceedings under Article 10 of The code of the civil contentious proceedings, gives the court the opportunity to "direct" the course of the court proceedings, in particular by binding instructions to the parties to the dispute, as well as by setting deadlines for their implementation. This aspect of the dispute process places importance on the procedural diligence of the parties, who are responsible for the result of the dispute. Judicial concentration of proceedings enables the court to sanction the uneconomical conduct of the parties in case they apply the means of procedural attack and procedural defense late.
