Trial costs in Argentina have suffered a beneficial change. As
from 1 August 2015, Argentina has in force a new and modern Civil
and Commercial Code (the CCCN) setting out many changes as to
private international law.
The equal treatment of foreign people has constitutional basis
in Argentine law (National Constitution, Article Number
20). In accordance with said constitutional protection, the
CCCN, in its Article Number 2,610, states that citizens and
permanent residents of foreign countries are granted free access to
jurisdiction to defend their rights and interests under the same
conditions as the citizens and permanent residents of Argentina.
Furthermore, it states that no security for costs or deposit may be
imposed because of foreign nationality or residency.
