Parliament Human Rights Committee criticizes new litigation fees
The article reveals that the Ministry of Justice has begun implementing the new litigation fees starting October 1st. These fees include up to 500 Egyptian pounds for entering the system, 500 pounds for each session in criminal cases, 300 pounds for felony cases, 100 pounds for renewing detention, and an additional 10 pounds for photographing each page of session files. There is also a package option costing up to 2,500 pounds for lawyers to access electronic services. Yasser El-Hadaby, the Human Rights Attorney in Parliament, raises questions about the legal basis of these fees and the readiness of the infrastructure for implementing the digital transformation within the justice system. He points out that the economic conditions may make it difficult for citizens to bear the financial burden of these charges. He emphasizes that the success of digital transformation depends on facilitating access to justice and speeding up procedures without making technology a financial burden. He calls for a broad dialogue with the Ministry of Justice to study the impact of these increases on litigants and lawyers, highlighting the necessity of preparing the infrastructure to ensure the continuity and effectiveness of the digital system.
