If a provision of European procedural law has not yet found the response it deserves in practice, undoubtedly this is Regulation (EC) No 861/2007 on the establishment of a European small claims procedure. The practical treatment it has received so far is inversely proportional to its substantive importance. This Regulation introduces an extremely flexible procedure, easily accessible even to non-lawyers, which leads directly to the issuance of an enforceable title for the collection of low-value debts, even for disputed claims.

The main goal of the book is to provide the legal community with the closest possible information on the sometimes extremely innovative provisions of the European small claims procedure and to search for the most appropriate solutions for the implementation of these regulations in domestic legal reality.
