Measure 4.1.2

Measure 4.1.2

“Establishment and implementation of a program for case management system in Courts/GPO/ HJC/HPC/HIJ”

In order to have an updated and functional case management system, it is necessary to design and implement in practice the relevant case management program in courts, prosecution offices, Councils and HIJ. The establishment of the management system also serves as a premise for an integrated system. In this respect, the measure is in line with Specific Objective 4.1 and Outcome 4.1.1.

Given that the existing court and prosecution office systems are considered ‘outdated’, the need arose to design a completely new program. This program needs to be further developed and implemented in practice by courts/prosecution offices, as well as system governance institutions (Councils, HIJ). The program should be able to produce data that can be processed and used for the needs of the justice system. A similar measure has been envisaged in the HJC 2018-2020 Strategic Plan. Measure 5.4 provided: “Increase transparency for the entire judicial system through the timely publication of court decisions on the HJC website“.

 

In this respect, the measure is necessary. Our only suggestion is to coordinate with HJC in order to understand at which stage work is about establishing the system, so that it is coherent with the current stage of work in this direction and the priorities of HJC.

Conclusion: The measure is clearly formulated and does not create confusion with the outcome and is in line with the strategic objective. We suggest coordinating with HJC to clarify the stage in which the work is on designing/setting up the program.
