Litigation in Cyprus is a robust mechanism for resolving civil and commercial disputes, and with the recent procedural reforms, parties and practitioners must pay particular attention to the framework under which disputes are brought, managed, and resolved. At Danos & Associates LLC, we have extensive experience assisting both domestic and international clients through the process, and this article offers a short guide to the key features of litigation under the modern regime in the Republic of Cyprus.

The mechanism of the preliminary reference stands as one of the cornerstones of European Union law. It establishes a channel of judicial cooperation between the national courts of Member States and the Court of Justice of the European Union ("CJEU"), ensuring the uniform interpretation and application of EU law across all Member States. Understanding this mechanism, and in particular the conditions under which a Cypriot court may invoke it, is of considerable practical importance for any party appearing in proceedings that raise a question of EU law.

Co-ownership can become difficult when one owner wants to sell and the others do not. Cyprus law provides several ways of dealing with that situation, but they are not interchangeable. There is an important difference between selling the whole property, selling an undivided share, dividing the property and, where division is not possible, seeking a compulsory sale.
