Czech judiciary to be faster and transparent

The Czech judiciary will in the future be faster, comfortable and transparent under plans to reform the justice system put forward by the Ministry of Justice. The plans were presented by Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek and Justice Minister Jiri Pospisil at a news conference on Monday. One of the main points of the reform is digitalisation of the judiciary sector that should simplify people’s access to courts and speed up judicial proceedings. The ministry is also planning an audit of the administrative staff in an effort to increase the efficiency of the courts.
