In particular, the provisions on the criteria for assessing evidence (reliability, probability), reasonable doubts, self-representation of legal entity, challenge to jury, interim remedy, aspects of appealing court decisions in appeal and cassation procedures, the grounds for referring the case to the Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court, participation in the hearing by means of videoconference etc. were refined.
