To optimise the load for judges, it is suggested to rearrange the jurisdiction of cases between the justices of the peace and the courts of general jurisdiction of the regional level, to define in the courts of arbitration the categories of cases where the cassation and enforcement appealing is not permitted, in other categories of cases, to exclude opportunities of appealing against decisions of the first instance court according to cassation procedure without preliminary appellate. An extra-judicial procedure of solving of disputes will also be introduced.
