The Ministry has drafted a bill amending a number of regulations aimed at introducing digital solutions into court hearings. The document stipulates that videoconferencing will no longer be an exception and can be used in all cases where the circumstances of the case justify it. This will allow parties, witnesses, experts and interpreters to participate in sessions remotely, without the need to be present in person in the courtroom.
The initiative is part of the reforms to modernize the justice system and is included in the Economic Growth Plan 2025-2027. It aims to increase the efficiency of court procedures, reduce costs and simplify citizens’ access to justice.
The bill also introduces clear rules for the electronic exchange of procedural documents. Courts will be able to send summonses and other documents in digital format. And statements of claim will be able to be filed online using an electronic signature.
To ensure the correctness of procedures, mechanisms are provided for the identification of participants connecting to online sessions, as well as measures in case of technical failures, including the postponement or suspension of a session.
