Abstract
This paper aims to highlight the development and pinpoint the issues that arise in the ongoing process of digitalisation of justice in the EU, particularly by analysing the relevant provisions of the new Proposal for a Regulation on the digitalisation of judicial cooperation. Different digital landscapes of the national courts in different Member States will also be showcased so as to detect possible issues in practices with the application of the new Proposal. The paper’s main conclusion is that the Proposal, while a step in the right direction, leaves room for further differentiation of access to justice between Member States. Additional improvements before its adoption are therefore desirable.
