Appeals in Georgia: procedure, deadlines and a stronger appellate strategy

An appeal is not a simple rerun of the first-instance case. It must connect the challenged part, legal or factual error, deadline, admissible material and requested result. The general civil appeal period is 14 days from service of the reasoned judgment; a criminal judgment is generally appealed within one month after announcement; and an administrative complaint is generally due within one month after publication or official notice, subject to special statutory rules.

Lawyer fees in Georgia: consultation, representation and total legal-cost guide

Georgia has no single mandatory tariff for private lawyers: remuneration and its calculation method are agreed between lawyer and client and should be clear in advance. A total budget may include advice, drafting, representation, court fees, experts, translation, notary, travel and enforcement. Compare not only a number, but the exact scope, responsible team, stages and approval mechanism for additional work.

Compensation claims in Georgia: property loss, moral damages and proof

A compensation claim needs a legal basis for liability, breach, actual loss, causation and, where required, fault. Article 992 of the Civil Code requires a person who unlawfully and intentionally or negligently causes damage to compensate the injured party. Monetary compensation for non-property damage is available only in cases specifically prescribed by law and must be reasonable and fair.

Medical negligence claims in Georgia: from evidence to a legal route

A medical-injury case starts with patient safety and preserving the complete medical file. The analysis then separates informed consent, standard of care, causation, damage, insurance or mediation and evidence usable in proceedings.

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.

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.

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.

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.
