Starting March 20th, Businesses Can Receive Lawsuit Notifications Electronically

Starting March 20th, businesses can receive legal notifications and lawsuits electronically from the initial summons. The amendment to Article 155 of the Civil Procedure Law signifies a major shift, enabling these initial notifications to be made electronically, as opposed to the previous requirement for them to be physical and in person.

Recommendations for businesses

Considering this new regulation, it is crucial for businesses to:

• Enhance diligence in reviewing notifications received electronically through the DEHú platform or equivalent systems depending on the autonomous community. It is vital to ensure that contact details, especially email addresses, are up-to-date on these platforms to guarantee the receipt of notifications.
