Experience in the implementation and operation of electronic justice systems in European countries

The article provides an in-depth analysis of the legal acts and practical aspects that facilitate the implementation and functioning of e-court proceedings in European countries. The study covers a wide range of countries, divided by geographical regions of Europe, which allows for a comprehensive view of various approaches to the electronicization of court proceedings. The article provides a detailed review of the legal and regulatory framework that stimulates the development of e-justice in Europe. The author analyzes how legislative initiatives and regulatory mechanisms affect the introduction of the latest technologies in the judicial system, including electronic document management standards, cybersecurity requirements and e-judicial procedures. In particular, in Northern Europe, the study focuses on such countries as the United Kingdom, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and Finland, each of which has its own peculiarities in the implementation of electronic court systems. In Western Europe, the experience of Austria and Germany, which have developed electronic court systems with a high level of automation and interoperability, is studied. In Eastern Europe, in particular in Poland and the Republic of Moldova, the implementation of e-court proceedings in the context of market transformations and support from international organizations is considered. Southern Europe analyzes the experience of Italy and Spain, which focus on improving access to justice and increasing the efficiency of court proceedings through electronic platforms. In countries partially located in Europe, such as Georgia and Turkey, the implementation of e-justice in the context of different political and economic realities is considered. Based on the findings, the article provides recommendations for adapting best practices to Ukraine, including recommendations for improving legal and regulatory frameworks, enhancing technological infrastructure, and ensuring the integration of electronic systems into existing court processes. These recommendations can contribute to increasing the efficiency, accessibility and transparency of the judicial process in Ukraine.
