WILL PROVIDE SPEED, COST SAVINGS, AND EASE OF ACCESS IN JUDICIAL PROCESSES
In a statement from his social media account, Minister Gürlek stated that in line with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's "Turkey Century" vision and digital transformation goals, they have expanded the scope of the e-Hearing system in justice services.
Noting that the system will also be applied in regional courts of appeal, Gürlek said, "We are implementing our e-Hearing application, which provides speed, cost savings, and ease of access in judicial processes, in our regional courts of appeal as well as in our courts of first instance. We allow all relevant parties, such as plaintiffs, defendants, experts, witnesses, and specialists, to be heard via e-Hearing, and we enable our judges to decide on this method ex officio."
“WE ARE FURTHER FACILITATING OUR CITIZENS' ACCESS TO JUSTICE”
Emphasizing determination in making justice services citizen-oriented, Gürlek noted: "We are also including procedures carried out in hospitals determined in line with the decisions of the High Board for Combating Addiction within the scope of e-Hearings. In this way, we further facilitate our citizens' access to justice, accelerate judicial processes, and ensure a more effective and efficient operation. We maintain our determination to make justice services faster, more accessible, and more citizen-oriented by reinforcing the rule of law with technological opportunities."
