Response to Cross-border e-Justice in Europe (e-CODEX)

3 Aug 2017

The e-CODEX system offers practical benefits and has substantial potential to impact cross-border judicial cooperation, not to mention the lives of ordinary individuals and enterprises. It addresses important aspects of several European legal instruments. The European Law Institute agrees that a stable synergetic platform is the best way to guarantee continuity and to realise the system’s untapped potential. It is keen to be involved in finding the best solution going forward.
