On February 24, the Latvian government ratified amendments proposed by the Ministry of Justice to the Civil Procedure Law, aimed at improving the procedures for co-ownership division cases. These changes include clarifying the content requirements of the application, necessitating a review by the State Land Service, and requiring proof of efforts to resolve disputes before taking them to court.

Furthermore, the amendments propose measures to expedite the enforcement of court judgments and decrease the number of disputes regarding payments in cases of division of property. Payments are now required to be made into a designated account managed by the Court Administration, which aims to streamline the process and enhance clarity for the involved parties.

Additionally, the amendments intend to reduce procedural disputes over expense allocations by permitting courts to adjust these distributions based on principles of fairness. A more simplified format for delivering court decisions in disputes involving the division of apartment property costs is also proposed, enhancing efficiency in legal proceedings related to such cases.
