The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted health, society, economics and daily life in countries around the world and has generated an enormous number of challenges that must be addressed.
Although many countries and justice systems had already introduced mechanisms and technologies to develop electronic judicial work processes and litigation, in the area of justice systems, the levels of restriction of movement and limited interpersonal interaction imposed to contain the pandemic have generated unprecedented difficulties. Hearings and indeed entire proceedings have been postponed and rescheduled, and urgent matters have had to be conducted with significant restrictions in place. In response, legal interpretations have been developed and technological applications have been adapted for that purpose. |
