| The Civil Justice System of Thailand |
|
The Civil justice system in Thailand is basically governed by the Civil Procedure Code 1935 which has been amended from time to time, recently in 2000. The rules in the Code are practical, giving the court wide discretion in directing the proceedings in the cases. It is a fundamental principle of the code that all trials must be held in open court and in the presence of all parties except in case of default or in case of necessity to maintain order in court. In this sense, the court may proceed with the hearing in the absence of the party in default or the party expelled on the ground of improper behavior or in the specific case where the subject matter should not be disclosed to the general public, the court may sit in camera, i.e. the public and the press are excluded, and no reports may be published without the permission of the court. Other essential to be heard, and entitled to legal representation is that witnesses are subject to examination-in-chief, cross-examination and reexamination.
To reach judgment, the court has full power to decide whether the evidence as adduced by the parties is relevant to the issue and is sufficient to be taken as conclusive. The judgment must state the ground on which it is based. Although the judgment may be appealed to the Courts of Appeal and further appealed to the Supreme Court, the lodging of an appeal or further appeal does not
entail such stay of execution of the judgment or order of the court. Nonetheless, the party lodging the appeal may apply to the Courts of the Appeal or the Supreme Court for such stay of execution. Details on legal aspects are as follows:
1. Cause of action
2. Examination of the plaint
3. Summons to answer
4. Answer and Counter-Claim
5. Default of Answer
6. Settlement of Issues
7. Default of Appearance |
