Civil online courts: A proposal to introduce them without affecting the right to access to justice of those that do not have access to the internet

Abstract

One of the main concerns associated to the implementation of online civil courts is the situation of the people that do not have access to the internet. In that sense, we propose a formula to introduce such courts without affecting the right to access to justice of those that do not have access to the web. The idea is to find the adequate balance between this policy, that has already proven its value in saving litigation time and costs, and the State's duty to secure the right to access the courts of justice to all its citizens.
