Slovakia forging ahead with judiciary digitization

Xinhua, November 4, 2015 Adjust font size:

Slovakia is taking steps to address long-term shortcomings in the field of the information technology and digitization of the judiciary, Slovak Justice Minister Tomas Borec said Wednesday.

"We've begun many projects compensating for what was needed a long time ago in the e-justice field," he said.

Borec announced as of the beginning of next year, the Electronic Body of Laws (SLOV-LEX) and the Electronic Services of Monitoring of Accused and Sentenced Persons (ESMO) would be launched.

He said the use of modern technology would create conditions for judges, judiciary employees, legal professionals and other experts to work more efficiently.

"It will also enable us to put more emphasis on increasing the responsibility of judges as well as experts, administrators, executors, advocates, interpreters and translators," added Borec.

The digitization of the judiciary in Slovakia is to continue until 2018. It will feature efficient judiciary control support and a new business registry project. Endit
