Egypt Tests Digital Crime Procedures
Egyptian judiciary prepares to implement the "Remote Litigation" system starting with the new judicial year in October. The goal is to conduct criminal trials via video conferencing, aiming to reduce crowding and save time. This step faces challenges related to technological infrastructure, including weak internet networks, high costs associated with the technology, and the fees involved. Experts and lawyers have emphasized that the success of this system requires advanced technical equipment, trained personnel, stable connectivity, and solutions to technical malfunctions and rapid handling of electronic issues. Additionally, an electronic platform has been launched to facilitate remote court session attendance, with registration and session fees imposed. This has sparked criticisms over the financial burdens placed on litigants, especially as some lawyers express concerns about the fragile technical infrastructure and the unclear legal status of the new fees. These developments come as part of the state's ongoing efforts to transition to digital systems and modernize the justice system.
