Rather rarely, the court also orders preliminary proceedings, for example, to eliminate defects in the action or to prepare for the first court hearing. The purpose of the preliminary hearing is, in particular, to examine whether the conditions of the proceedings are met, to acquaint the parties with the preliminary factual and legal conclusions of the court and to instruct them on the specific form of their burden to assert and prove. However, at the end of the preliminary hearing, the court can also concentrate the proceedings, that is, establish that it is no longer possible to state new facts and supplement evidence (except for the reasons established by law). However, the missing of the preliminary hearing by the defendant can also be sanctioned by a judgment for recognition!
