Court process automation system end to end has to do with the automation of court processes from the filing of cases to their final disposal.
An end to end court process automation system will enable legal practitioners to file their cases from the comfort of their offices or homes, and enable a Chief Judge to assign cases electronically.
Such a system allows for easy and immediate tracking of the progress of each case assigned.
The electronic filing and registry processes will help to eliminate the bottlenecks that hamper speed, increase efficiency, accuracy and high productivity in the administration of justice delivery.
Below are the components and explanation of an end to end court process automation system:
E-FILING
The e-filing system will enable Legal Practitioners file cases electronically from the comfort of their offices or homes. This enables the following:
E-REGISTRY
The e-Registry enables registry staff to receive and review all cases filed through the electronic filing system after confirmation of payment.
Cases approved as properly filed are electronically presented to the Chief Judge for assignment. That is e-assignment.
Cases electronically assigned by the Chief Judge are transferred to the electronic docket of the designated courts or judges for adjudication.
Cases approved are also forwarded electronically for service.
E-SERVICE
Processing and approval in the e-Registry are forwarded electronically to the Deputy Sheriff’s office for service by the Bailiffs. Cases filed with the email addresses and phone numbers of the defendants are served electronically by sending emails to the defendants attaching the filed processes.
This shall be followed up by a phone call to the defendant by the Bailiff to notify the former of the electronic service.
E-COURTS
The e-Court system enables Judges gain access to the electronic case files of cases assigned to their courts. Directions by the Court as to court sitting dates and time, including notice of adjournments are forwarded to litigants/counsel from time to time.
