Within the next decade, all courts and competent authorities involved in a cross-border civil or commercial case will be required to use digital tools to, for example, initiate a case, communicate, request or issue a certificate. All legal practitioners will have the possibility to use an electronic platform to apply for certificates, assistance or launch specific proceedings. This applies to all civil and commercial matters including family law, succession, small claims, protection of adults or insolvency cases. This workshop will present the next steps in the development of digital tools and the categories of practitioners affected by this digital revolution!
