Council of Ministers have just approved the proyect of the Technological Justice Act, the aim is the processing of judicial procedures through electronic ways in its entirety.

The project has been enriched by the contributions of the General Council of Judicial Power, The General Attorney, the General Council of Lawyers and the General Council of Procurators.

This Act is a result of the e-Justice plan of the European Union and facilitates relationships of citizens and professionals with the Justice Administration. The Justice Minister assures that a more accessible, transparent and dynamic Justice will be achieved with the introduction of this Act.

Electronic data transmissions and database keeping of the same will take the place of the old paper notices and archives.

Citizens will have the right to choose the electronic way and professionals will be under obligation to the use of the same which will drive to the fully electronic management of judicial claims and therefore more efficient and dynamic processes.

The new Act also includes a set of information about criteria and recommendations on safety, keeping, normalization, formats etc..., and a minimum common ground for different computer systems to be compatible and fully functional. These criteria will be managed by a National Public Committee on Electronic Justice formed by members of the Justice Department, Regional Justice Authorities, General Counsel of Judges and General Attorney Office.

Yes, a new reason to look into the future and recover trust in Spain
