102
Financial, cyber and white-collar crime: a company and individual response plan
A corporate investigation requires separation of individual and company interests, lawful preservation of data, transaction tracing, an authority map and clear privileged scope for any internal review.
103
Road traffic incident and criminal risk: first steps in Georgia
After a collision, safety and medical care come first, followed by preservation of the scene, driver condition, vehicles, cameras, witnesses, injuries and police records; insurance and criminal issues develop in parallel.
104
Domestic violence, restraining and protective orders: safety and procedure
Call 112 where there is immediate danger; a police restraining order and a court protective order are distinct temporary-protection mechanisms and may operate alongside a criminal investigation.
105
Appeals, plea agreements, extradition and Interpol: distinct decision routes
Appeals, plea agreements, extradition and Interpol-related matters engage different jurisdictions, evidence and remedies; an outcome in one process does not automatically govern another.
106
Filing a civil lawsuit in Georgia: remedy, defendant and jurisdiction
Preparing a claim starts not with the form but with the exact remedy, correct defendant, factual basis, court competence and enforcement prospects; misclassification can damage timing and protection.
107
Civil evidence and limitation periods: preserving a claim in time
The applicable limitation period and its start depend on the claim and facts, while evidence degrades over time; the conclusion must be drawn from the current rule and a precise chronology.
108
Breach, damages and unjust enrichment: choosing the correct civil claim
Contractual performance, damages and unjust enrichment have different elements and calculations; one event may support alternative claims, but double recovery is not available.
109
Debt recovery and enforcement: from claim to actual payment
Winning a debt claim and actually receiving money are different stages; contract, acknowledgment, security, debtor assets and enforcement cost should be mapped before proceedings. The Enforcement Proceedings Law page lists amendments through 17 December 2025 but also warns that its consolidation is being updated.
110
Recognition and enforcement of a foreign judgment in Georgia
A foreign judgment is not automatically enforceable in Georgia: recognition of a legally effective decision can be blocked by defective notice, jurisdiction, parallel proceedings or conflict with Georgia's basic legal principles, and an enforcement petition needs certified translation and proof of finality.
111
Mediation and settlement agreements: from confidentiality to enforcement
Mediation is voluntary and confidential, but a final written settlement may be enforced by court; the Supreme Court handles recognition and enforcement of international settlements, and private mediation can suspend limitation for up to two years.
112
Civil appeal and cassation: error, timing and admissibility analysis
Appeal and cassation are not unrestricted retrials; the appeal period is 14 days from service of the reasoned judgment and the cassation period is 21 days, while the challenged part, error, admissibility and relief must be formulated precisely.
113
Interim measures, asset freezing and default judgments in Georgia
Interim relief requires evidence of the claim, urgency, proportionality and enforcement risk; proper service on a foreign party and consequences of non-appearance need separate review.
114
Administrative complaints and government decisions: first response
On receiving a public-authority act, preserve the full decision and proof of service, request the agency file and determine whether an administrative complaint, direct claim or special route applies. Under the General Administrative Code, the complaint window is generally one month from publication or official knowledge, and registration generally suspends the act subject to exceptions.
115
Challenging a public-agency refusal in Georgia's administrative court
Judicial review examines authority, procedure, fact assessment, application of law and reasons; the claim must seek a remedy the court can lawfully grant.
116
Licence and construction-permit disputes: the technical and legal file
A permit dispute often combines zoning, title, technical rules, submitted design, third-party interests and agency procedure; legal argument must be grounded in the technical file.
117
Administrative fines and municipal disputes: from record to challenge
Challenging a fine requires review of the exact offence, official authority, proof and service; the Administrative Offences Code has a general 10-day fine-appeal checkpoint, but the offence category may set a different route.
118
Tax administration disputes: audit, assessment and appeal
A tax dispute should be separated into transactions, primary records, tax classification, assessment method, penalty and appeal stages; the next appeal after a Revenue Service decision generally has a 20-day deadline.
119
Public information requests and refusals: defining the record precisely
A public-information request should identify an existing record or data precisely; information is generally issued immediately or no later than 10 days, while a refusal must be notified immediately and its appeal route explained in writing.
120
Suspension of an administrative act and deadlines: interim-protection strategy
Challenging an act and suspending its operation are separate issues; harm, urgency, public interest, third parties and enforceability of the final outcome must be balanced. Under the Administrative Procedure Code, a court may suspend an act where there is justified doubt about legality or a risk of significant or irreparable harm, and a suspension motion may be assessed before the main proceedings begin.
