Summary/Abstract: The following paper includes an analysis of the issues related to recording the course of public court sessions in civil proceedings. Although the analyzed issue is a matter of a technical nature, in fact it plays an important role, particularly in the light of allowing to pass correct decisions, as well as for ensuring the conduct of potential assessment of the proceedings and its outcome, especially in the context of an appeal. The issue of recording the course of public court sessions in the civil proceedings is discussed in the light of the essential legislative changes introduced by the Act of 29 April 2010 amending the Act – Code of Civil Procedure. As a result of the aforementioned amendments, general principle governing recording of public court sessions was fundamentally altered. According to the current legal status, it includes preparation of the transcript with the use of devices that register either sound itself or sound together with image, whilst the previous written protocol became secondary, complementary with respect to its electronic equivalent.
