Submit digital attachment claims in Amsterdam

Submit digital attachment claims in Amsterdam

Cause

After the failure of the KEI Programme , the judiciary reconsidered digital litigation. This led to the Basic Plan for Digitization of Civil and Administrative Law ('Basic Plan'). The Basic Plan has the apt subtitle 'reset digitization KEI'.

Basic plan for digitization of civil and administrative law

The Basic Plan must become a new solution for digital litigation in the areas of civil law and administrative law.

Project Digital Access

A consequence of the Basic Plan is the Digital Access Project. This project should lead to a digital letterbox for litigants, a digital mailroom for court registries and a digital file for litigants for all types of civil and administrative cases. In view of the experiences with the KEI Programme, small steps are being taken.

It was quiet for a long time. But today the Judiciary announced that, at least for civil law, the first small step is being taken. The first concrete application of the Digital Access Project will start shortly and concerns a digital portal for submitting attachment claims.

Submit a pilot digital attachment claims

This digital portal for submitting attachment claims is a pilot that will start at the Amsterdam court from 28 June 2021. Participation is voluntary for the time being.

Little else is known about the pilot. Only that you have to log in with your lawyer's card viasrecht.nl, that lawyers can upload documents in this portal (in PDF format) and communicate with the court. Furthermore, the lawyer automatically receives “a digital confirmation of receipt” for their file (I assume an e-mail).

A manual will be available online at the end of this month and hopefully more will be known about the operation and functionalities.

The pilot will last six weeks and if the evaluation is positive, lawyers will be able to digitally submit an attachment application to all courts this autumn.

Next pilot

According to an earlier press release , the next step in the digitization process is “the case flow of state taxes” at the Arnhem-Leeuwarden Court of Appeal.

Litigation costs: joint and several liability?

  Litigation costs: joint and several liability? The judge usually orders the losing party in a procedure to pay the costs of the other party. How the legal costs are determined can be found in my blog legal costs: how does it work? Who for which part? But what if two parties are ordered to pay the costs of the proceedings. Can the winner address each of his opponents only for half? Or are they always jointly and severally liable for payment of the legal costs? Or are they only jointly and severally liable if you claim that? What is headship? If several parties are jointly and severally liable, this means that the creditor can hold the joint and several parties liable for the entire amount. This means that the creditor can choose who to address and for what amount. If one party pays the entire amount to the creditor, he can sue the other parties so that they have all paid an equal part. This is called internal reco...

Process costs: how does it work?

  Process costs: how does it work? There are risks associated with litigation. The judge can reject your claim, then you have incurred costs for your lawyer or authorized representative and you are still empty-handed. In addition, you will usually also be ordered to pay the legal costs of the other party. In this blog I explain how the settlement of the legal costs works. Cost-effective? A common misunderstanding is that the other party reimburses all costs if you win a procedure.  Fully reimbursed The costs that are in principle fully reimbursed are: costs for service of the summons; costs associated with attachments; cost of an expert. Not fully reimbursed This does not apply to attorney fees. These costs are not fully reimbursed. Except in intellectual property matters, such as a dispute over a trade name or a trademark...

Process costs: certainty

  Process costs: certainty If you litigate against a foreign party, it can sometimes become difficult to collect the legal costs. In some cases you can demand security for the legal costs from the other party. In this blog I explain in which cases this is and is not possible. Security for litigation costs Article 224 DCCP of the Code of Civil Procedure contains a regulation that provides security for legal costs. Paragraph 1 of it is somewhat cryptic who can use this: “All persons without domicile or habitual residence in the Netherlands who file a claim with a Dutch court or join or intervene in proceedings here are obliged to provide security at the request of the other party for the costs of the proceedings and the compensation for payment of which they could be sentenced. turn into." In understandable Dutch it says: the defendant can obtain security in the event that the court rejects the forei...
