Summary/Abstract: The article discuss the proposal included in the draft amendment from 27.11.2017, such as introduction to the civil proceedings of the admissibility of dismissing the claim as obvious groundlessness at a closed session in the context of providing to a person the right to a court. The author puts forward the thesis that in the light of Article 1911 Code of Civil Procedure, the “obvious groundlessness” of an action is a state in which the claim made by the claimant is unknown to the law. Otherwise, i.e. in the case of a too wide understanding of this institution, the dismissal of the action may lead to violation of the right of the individual to court in the light of Article 6 ECHR.
