Project title
China, Poland, and the UK: Digitalisation and Social Transformation in Administration of Civil Justice
Supervisors
Abstract
The development of “online courts” in recent years has been potentially influenced by social and cultural dynamics related to citizens’ expectations of access to justice. The research question of this project is: What is the impact of digitalisation of civil justice on existing values and principles underlying different legal systems? Igor will undertake a comparative analysis of digital civil courts and understandings of the concept of digital justice in Poland, the UK and in the PRC. By comparing them, Igor will seek to develop a set of criteria against which current and future policy developments and recommendations can be assessed.
