The introduction of the New Civil Procedure Rules in Cyprus has
brought substantial changes to the litigation process, including
the provision for interim payments – a legal mechanism
previously unavailable in Cypriot civil litigation. Part 27 of the
new Rules establishes the framework for interim payments, offering
claimants the possibility to secure part of the sums claimed prior
to the final determination of their case.
Definition and Scope of Interim Payments
An interim payment is a payment ordered by the court from a
defendant to a claimant before the final resolution of the dispute.
This mechanism is applicable to claims involving damages, debts, or
other monetary amounts, excluding legal costs.
