Facilitation of the Judiciary in the Republic of North Macedonia by Applying the Notary Service

With the independence of the Republic of North Macedonia in 1991, the need was felt for the legal circulation of goods and services. In order to facilitate legal transactions due to their multiplicity, in 1996, for the first time, we brought the corresponding law for notaries. They operate within various branches based on law. The public power was entrusted to him from November I of 1997, and in 1998 we had the first notaries. One of the reasons for introducing notaries is to make the courts easier. This process of non-judgment in European countries is not recent. As early as September 16, 1986, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe adopted the Recommendation on measures to prevent and reduce court overcrowding in order to relieve the courts of cases that do not fall within the typical judicial function. The transfer of some powers from the courts to bodies outside the judicial system for non-contentious matters is an effective means of their relief. The legal basis for the action of notaries as court commissioners is found in the Law on Notaries, which provides that the court may entrust the notary with duties defined by special laws.
