The government recently announced its decision to invite tenders for the digitisation of court procedures in all districts of Cyprus, with the dual objectives of streamlining the management of the court system and providing court users with new functionality and better information.

The new system is intended to provide a range of online services, including the ability to file a case, monitor its progress, submit documents and receive real-time information on cases in progress and any steps that have to be taken to execute court decisions.

According to the Ministry of Justice, all courts in Cyprus will participate in the project. The ability to file and track cases online will result in substantial savings of time, as lawyers will no longer need to travel to a court physically in order to file an action. They will also be notified in advance of postponements of hearings.

Jurisdiction In Cross-border Litigation: Insights From A Recent Cyprus Court Decision

It is not uncommon for high-value commercial disputes to give rise to jurisdictional issues, particularly where they involve multiple defendants domiciled in different jurisdictions or where one or more parties have entered into agreements containing jurisdiction clauses. The reason is straightforward: if the Court determines that it lacks jurisdiction to hear the matter, the proceedings may effectively come to an end at the outset. Accordingly, the issue of jurisdiction must be determined by the Court as a preliminary matter and at the earliest stage of proceedings.

The Preliminary Reference Procedure Before The CJEU: Cyprus Jurisprudence

The mechanism of the preliminary reference stands as one of the cornerstones of European Union law. It establishes a channel of judicial cooperation between the national courts of Member States and the Court of Justice of the European Union ("CJEU"), ensuring the uniform interpretation and application of EU law across all Member States. Understanding this mechanism, and in particular the conditions under which a Cypriot court may invoke it, is of considerable practical importance for any party appearing in proceedings that raise a question of EU law.

Landmark Judgment in Civil Appeal 31/2017: Cyprus' Duty to Investigate the Fate of Missing Persons under the ECHR

The Supreme Court of Cyprus has issued a landmark ruling establishing that the state's obligation to investigate missing persons from the 1974 Turkish invasion is triggered automatically by disappearance under suspicious circumstances, regardless of whether remains have been located. The judgment clarifies that humanitarian efforts through the Committee on Missing Persons do not substitute for the required criminal investigation, and that neither political considerations nor practical difficulties justify f

From Cybersecurity To Supply Chain Sovereignty In CSA2: The Spotlight On Suppliers

In January 2026, the European Commission unveiled its plan to overhaul the EU's Cybersecurity Act, a proposal now known as CSA2. It's the natural next step in a story that began years earlier with the EU's 2020 "5G Security Toolbox" - a set of voluntary recommendations encouraging Member States to be cautious about certain telecom suppliers. That voluntary approach produced patchy results: by most accounts, fewer than half of EU countries had actually acted on those recommendations. It is worth asking whether the adoption levels were however a failure of design, or a reflection of Member States reaching different conclusions about their risk exposures.
