Workgroup

Telematic Views

Why?

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, they have been launched in Fide a series of working groups aimed at analyzing, from different perspectives, the present and future consequences, both legal, economic and social, that will inevitably accompany the health crisis caused by the pandemic. FIDE considers the leading role that civil society must assume in decision-making essential, and even more so, in a situation as exceptional as the one that is happening right now.

With this objective in mind, a working group was created last year, comprising a group of renowned professionals to reflect on Telematic holding of hearings and substitution by written procedure, analyzing the procedural requirements and guarantees to be considered in the civil jurisdictional order, with special attention to ordinary trial and the precautionary process.
