Nowe regulacje procesowe w „Dignitas connubii” – wybrane zagadnienia

Abstract

On 25th January 2005 the instruction Dignitas connubii became effective and from that moment it should be used in the diocesan and interdiocesan courts in relation to the causes of adjudging marriage invalidity. It introduced many new elements into the case practice. The author makes a reflection about some of them, namely: notifying the passive parties in the process of procedural acts, attaching the clauses prohibitive in the verdict, passing legal remedies in the verdict and the discussion on controversial proof, as the illegal evidence being used. This study is also a kind of practical guide on how to apply these novelties in the courts of the lower instances.
