Following Council Decision 2001/470/EC establishing a European Judicial Network in civil and commercial matters a Judicial network in civil matters (Súdna sieť pre občianske veci Slovenskej republiky) was established in Slovakia with a view to ensuring effective involvement of the Slovak Republic in the European Judicial Network in civil and commercial matters. The Slovak Judicial network in civil matters comprises contact points (judges or senior judicial officers) from each district court (okresný súd) and regional court (krajský súd), as well as from the Supreme Court (Najvyšší súd).
