Questions and Answers — Litigation in Radovish
Disputes are stressful, and most clients have the same questions before they file. Here are clear answers to the questions we hear most often from clients in Radovish considering litigation before Basic Court Radovish.
How long does a typical case take?
Most civil and commercial cases at first instance resolve within 12 to 18 months in Radovish. Complex matters can take longer, and appeals add further time. At the strategy stage we provide a realistic estimate tailored to your case.
Can I recover my legal costs if I win?
Yes, in most civil and commercial cases the losing party pays the winner's court costs and a portion of attorney fees, subject to statutory limits set by the bar association tariff. We explain recoverability at the outset.
Do I need to be physically present in Radovish?
For most matters, no. Foreign clients usually grant a power of attorney and we handle all hearings, filings, and procedural steps on their behalf. Occasional witness testimony may require attendance — we discuss this case by case.
What if the other side does not pay after I win?
We initiate enforcement proceedings — bank account attachment, salary garnishment, asset seizure. North Macedonia has a structured enforcement system and we use it actively to recover what our clients are owed.
Can foreign judgments be enforced in North Macedonia?
Yes, under bilateral treaties or international conventions, foreign judgments and arbitral awards can be recognized and enforced. We regularly handle enforcement of EU, UK, US, and other jurisdictions' judgments in Radovish.
