Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered a civil claim in Cyprus?
Civil claims involve disputes between private parties, including contracts, property, inheritance and damages, as opposed to criminal cases initiated by the state.

Duration varies depending on complexity and court workload. Some claims can be resolved in months, while others may take longer. We aim for efficient case management.
Can civil disputes be settled without going to court?
Yes. We encourage negotiation and mediation where appropriate, and only proceed to litigation when necessary to protect your interests.
What remedies are available in civil cases?
Remedies include damages (monetary compensation), injunctions, specific performance orders, or declaratory relief depending on the nature of the claim.
Can foreign judgments be enforced in Cyprus?
Yes. We advise on recognition and enforcement of EU and foreign judgments under applicable treaties and regulations.
