Minister of Justice Giorgos Floridis and Deputy Minister Ioannis Bougas presented on Wednesday the provisions of the new Code of Civil Procedure, which will be implemented starting 16 September 2025.

Floridis noted that the new provisions are expected to significantly reduce the time required to issue court decisions. Currently, the issuance of a final decision in Greece takes approximately 1,492 days. The goal is to align with the Council of Europe average-around 350 days for a first-instance decision and about 650 days for a final decision.
