Digitising disputes – 4 of 14 Insights

The Future of Litigation – Episode 3

Quick read

The courts go digital

What is the future of litigation? How will the digital revolution affect the conduct of disputes, and what does that mean for you? Season 1 of Sidebar – the new podcast from Taylor Wessing, which predicts the impact of the issues, innovations and trends facing the wider legal landscape – has the answers.

In the third episode in our Future of Litigation season, we're excited to be joined by Delivery Director at the Royal Courts of Justice Lisa John to explore how the courts are going digital. Together with Disputes & Investigations partner Laurence Lieberman and senior professional support lawyer Helen Brannigan, Lisa will discuss how technology is reshaping and reforming the infrastructure of litigation, including:

the key efficiencies achieved through the CE- filing system
how COVID-19 has impacted the speed of digital reform in the courts
the recent and forthcoming changes to technology infrastructure in the RCJ, and
whether the digitisation of the courts marks a fundamental change to the process of accessing justice.
