The Ministry of Justice of Armenia has introduced a newly developed electronic administrative litigation system intended for judicial procedures. According to official information, the system is expected to enable citizens and state institutions to submit claims and appeals without physical presence, as well as conduct litigation processes digitally.
The presentation was attended by members of the Supreme Judicial Council, as well as judges from the Administrative Court, the Administrative Court of Appeals, and the Administrative Chamber of the Court of Cassation. The developers of the system demonstrated its core functions and operational mechanisms, which are expected to facilitate electronic case management.
Deputy Minister of Justice Tigran Dadunts noted that discussions included issues related to the workload of administrative courts and possible changes that could impact the organization of judicial work. He stated that the ministry continuously examines emerging issues in judicial procedures to assess the need for regulatory adjustments.
According to Liana Tovmasyan, the coordinator of the electronic system’s implementation, it is currently in a pilot phase accompanied by preparatory training for relevant stakeholders. The suggestions raised by judges will be considered in finalizing the system’s structure.
The system’s implementation implies a transition to digital case management in administrative proceedings. However, it remains to be seen whether it will result in significant changes in judicial efficiency. Future phases will clarify whether the full adoption of digital procedures might introduce additional technical or legal challenges affecting judicial operations.
