New The judiciary has introduced an upgraded electronic filing system, or e-Filing, aimed at establishing a stable and secure digital infrastructure for litigation across multiple case types. The new system is part of a broader modernization strategy designed to strengthen efficiency, security, and public confidence in judicial services.
The upgraded e-Filing system focuses on building a reliable electronic litigation platform that supports economic activity by providing a trustworthy dispute resolution mechanism. The development is expected to benefit business operations, investment, and overall economic stability, while aligning the judiciary with data- and technology-driven public services.
The previous e-Filing system had been in use for nearly a decade and was no longer able to fully accommodate rapid technological change, rising case volumes, and higher security requirements. Civil cases alone accounted for more than 85 percent of total filings, exceeding the capacity of the existing infrastructure. Limitations in cybersecurity standards, identity verification, and user-centered design led to the decision to develop a new system.
The upgrade was guided by extensive user feedback collected from more than 700 system users. Issues were analyzed across software, hardware, and operational processes, with system prototypes tested and refined over a two-year period.
Key enhancements include electronic identity verification through a national digital ID system to prevent impersonation, the replacement of scanned document uploads with standardized electronic forms, and the introduction of automated notifications for court orders and hearing schedules. The system also includes tools to prevent scheduling conflicts and improve document management. For the first time, e-Filing has been extended to selected juvenile and family court cases.
The upgraded system officially launched on 5 January 2026 and is initially available for consumer cases filed by business operators and child recognition cases with maternal consent. Filing information can be entered around the clock, while payments and certain submissions must be completed during official working hours.
The project was developed in cooperation with a state-owned financial institution, reflecting efforts to strengthen digital governance, promote access to justice, and support transparent and efficient public institutions in line with international sustainability goals.
