Questions & answers
How are civil courts organised in Georgia?
First instance — district (city) courts; second instance — the Tbilisi and Kutaisi Courts of Appeal; the final, cassation instance — the Supreme Court of Georgia.
Can a dispute be resolved without going to court?
Yes — through negotiation, mediation or arbitration. For some categories of disputes (for example certain family, inheritance and neighbour disputes) court mediation may be mandatory.
How long do I have to file a claim?
It depends on the type of claim. Under the Civil Code of Georgia the general limitation period is 10 years, 3 years for contractual claims and 6 years for claims related to immovable property. Some claims have shorter periods, so it is best to act early.
