Author considers the role of that institution and indicates that although there was not many amendments in above provision of law there was some important court decision relating to this proceeding. Also views of doctrine is still developing. Contemporary conciliatory court proceeding can be used to the all cases that could be terminated by agreement also these that are non-litigious proceedings.It should be noticed that in practice the main role of the conciliatory court proceedings is to interrupt the limitation period. However part of the subjects in civil procedure use the institution contrary to law. They are not interested in agreement but they want only to interrupt the limitation period multiple time to keep their claim. Such way of using conciliatory court proceeding should be treated as abuse of law. Author also shows how important is right classification of conciliatory court proceeding. It can even influence the proper learning process at University.Finally there are presented proposed amendments in law prepared in Government’s Draft of 27th November 2017 relating to the conciliatory court proceeding.Author assumes that conclusion of agreement in conciliatory court proceeding is proper way to finish dispute between the parties. It gives possibility to reduce costs, time and even make people to forget and reconcile animosity.
