The Alliance Between The Courts And Technology

The Courts are resorting more and more to computer technology in order to accelerate implementation of the various acts and procedures required to conduct a judicial proceeding. Use of technology by the Courts is not that recent and in the past few years many courts have been using computers as an alternative means to monitor the status of judicial proceedings. Online attachment of funds located in a debtor's bank account is nothing new, since for some years now this type of asset freezing has been used frequently by the Labor Courts.

It is undeniable, however, that the new amendments to the Code of Civil Procedure – which mostly focused on making proceedings faster and more effective – greatly encouraged the use of technology as a means to make procedures more dynamic and immediate, easing the course of judicial proceedings easier.
