Before entering into a contract, a real estate transaction, or any other legal commitment, it is often necessary to determine whether court proceedings have been initiated against a specific individual or legal entity.

An attorney may conduct such a search using an attorney ID card and where a legitimate legal interest exists, provided that the necessary identification details of the individual are available, including their personal identification number. The searches are carried out through court registries and electronic court systems to which attorneys have lawful access.

In this way, it can be established whether the individual is a party to civil, commercial, or administrative cases.

It should be noted that there is no general public register covering all court cases for every single person. An attorney’s review cannot be fully comprehensive, but it significantly reduces risk and provides a clearer understanding of the individual’s legal status.

This information is of a general nature and does not constitute legal advice on a specific case.
