Recent development
The expansion of the scope of application of the e-Hearing
System, which enables participation in hearings by means of audio
and video transmission in civil proceedings, has been on the agenda
for quite some time. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, important steps
have been taken to expand the e-Hearing System and provide online
access to more courts. In this regard, the Ministry of Justice
initiated the pilot applications of the e-Hearing System on 15
September 2020. As of 9 November 2021, the e-Hearing System has
been implemented in all provinces, and online access is now
available to 1,400 civil courts.
Procedure and principles of the e-Hearing System
Issues related to e-hearings and procedural actions are
regulated within the scope of Regulation No. 31527 on the Execution
of Hearings by Transmission of Audio and Video in Civil Procedures
("Regulation").
