Doha, Qatar: Centre of Legal and Judicial Studies (CLJS) yesterday organised a legal symposium on electronic judiciary — an application to the Qatar Investment and Trade Court, through which it reviewed Qatar’s successful experience in the field of transition towards electronic judiciary and the role of this experience in consolidating effective justice, with the participation of several government agencies.
Director of CLJS Dr. Saleh Ali Al Fadala emphasised the importance of holding the symposium, which came within the framework of the legal seminars programme of the centre.
He noted that it aimed primarily at contributing to the establishment of a Qatari legal system that keeps pace with the aspirations of the wise leadership by consolidating the principles of accomplished justice — making sure that the outputs of the legal seminars are in line with the objectives of Qatar National Vision 2030, and national development strategies.
The symposium addressed the definition of electronic judiciary, its characteristics, mechanisms of action, and examples of successful experiences of Arab and European countries in electronic judiciary. It also reviewed the electronic system of Qatar Investment and Trade Court in terms of the court’s internal system, the procedures for registering and filing claims electronically, among others.
