14. 13. What is your attitude to the advocacy’s monopoly? 

• I believe that only lawyers should represent interests of the parties in court since this will promote quality of trial and protection of their rights, and self-representation should only be possible in certain categories of cases.
• I believe that interests of the parties involved should be represented by lawyers or parties directly (self-representation), in particular, the in-house lawyers of the companies.
• I believe that the advocacy’s monopoly may be appropriate only at the appeal stage.
• I do not support the advocacy’s monopoly, as it limits the right to choose a representative.

3 - no definite answer can be given;
4 - mostly satisfied. Most of the costs were reimbursed by the court and such reimbursement was largely reasonable.
