Procedural good faith and electronic technologies in justice: challenges for procedural legal science and new research horizons

Abstract

The development of electronic technologies opens new horizons for many areas of legal activity, expands the content of legal concepts and allows to identify new areas of research for already known theoretical and practical problems. Procedural good faith principle is no exception, the study of which, in the context of the development of technologies in justice, poses new challenges for researchers and opens a broad prospects for deeper research. The increasing use of digital technologies, given that these technologies are directly incorporated into judicial activities (they are used when considering cases, performing procedural actions at different stages of legal proceedings, etc.), sooner or later will sharply raise the issue of good faith in their use, so the task of procedural law science – to be ready for these challenges.
