Civil proceedings: Preparatory proceedings and preliminary proceedings. When a judgment of acquittal is handed down in criminal proceedings initiated for an act covered by compulsory motor vehicle liability insurance, if the injured party has not waived the civil action or reserved it to be exercised separately, the judge or court hearing the case shall issue an order, at the request of a party, determining the maximum net amount that may be claimed as compensation for the damages and losses suffered by each injured party, covered by said compulsory motor vehicle insurance and according to the valuation that corresponds to the valuation system provided for in the Law. We are dealing with the so-called maximum amount order that allows recourse to civil proceedings for enforcement. Preliminary proceedings, on the other hand, can be defined as the procedure to determine certain circumstances relating to the assertion of ownership, normally passive, of the litigious legal relationship in the future, or other details that the person who is going to make a claim needs to know about the substance of said relationship, before making it, in order to avoid the useless request for judicial protection (ATS of November 11, 2002, Rec. 20/2002).
