Even though there have been many social-economical changes during last 40 years since the Civil Procedure Law became effective in 1960, current Civil Procedure Law could not reflect such changes and cope up with the desires of the people for faithful, swift and fair dispute resolution. Moreover, the inquiry method of the Civil Procedure Law before the amendment has been based on the principles of oral declaration and occasional submission. These two legislative principles were designed for flexible operation of the suit, but these had problems that could not be overlooked in actual operation.
Because of those indications, which were based upon the experiences of policy operation for more than 40 years, the problems have been mostly resolved in January, 2002. With the amendment more practical and swift right relief has become possible. The purpose of the amendment was to, together with promoting the parties' convenience, innovate the entire procedures. The basic policy is to make our own language used as much as possible in its expression and sentence structures improved for better understanding of the parties.
In this thesis, the contents of the amended Civil Procedure Law were studied and current operation of the changed system was examined.
