Every day, civil relations arise in the society from the liabilities of the parties. By providing property management services, civil contracts are concluded in order to achieve a certain economic result – the fulfilment of specific work. The other party is usually interested in remuneration for the services provided. The data of the Portal of the Latvian Court of Justice www.manas.tiesas.lv have been used to determine the current situation. Both the judicial authorities and the judgements have been chosen on a random basis.
