Despite the importance of the issue, ensuring that the legal subjects are offered fast and affordable forms of dis- puteresolution, remains to be a challenge. Achieving the mentioned goal becomes more difficult, when the dispute is loaded with international private law elements, is characterized by complexity in this way and its resolution is connected with a number of peculiarities. That is why, on the one hand, it is considered important to make changes in the law of Georgia “On Private International Law”, which will eliminate the risks of its misinterpretation.
