Restitution Claims — the Civil Procedure Toolkit
When an economic offence or another wrongful act causes damage, what matters to the victim is not formal recognition of the right but actual restoration — getting the money or the property back. The Georgian Civil Procedure Code provides two instruments for that purpose: interim security of the claim, which protects the respondent's assets until the decision is enforced, and the damages suit that rests on a judgment already in legal force. This page explains both, on the basis of Articles 191, 198 and 309¹⁷. What is described here is the standalone civil court route; a civil claim embedded in a pending criminal case is governed by a different procedural regime that lies outside this page.
