Peru applauds the inauguration of the electronic file in the Judiciary of North Lima
Summary:
Peru officially entered the Information Age though the implementation of the electronic file, as recently stated by senior officials of the government body.
Information:
The inauguration took place in November and was described as a “historic event” by the chairman of the Judiciary, Mr. Enrique Mendoza.
The process started with the conversion of paper documents and records to digital formats through a scanner, turning those piles of paper into files that can be stored, backed up and transferred through information and communications technologies.
The electronic file was initially implemented in the work area and about 160 files have already been processed. Electronic notifications and auctions have also been carried out, which helped to expedite the judicial processes.
By year-end, second instance processes and the Supreme Court of Peru itself will be included. Also, a user interface is expected to start operating via Internet in February.
Then, there will be a second digitization phase that will encompass other courts in Lima, Junín and Tacna, destined to courtrooms specialized in the commercial and family areas. It will take approximately two years.
Finally, the third phase will consist on the implementation of this IT solution in all the superior courts of the country. This process will be finalized in approximately two years.
Litigants will be able to save time and money, as that they will be able to check the status of their cases online, without having to go to court. For example, a resolution that took about 150 days will theoretically be ready in just a month, which means the waiting time will be reduced five times.
Another advantage the electronic file offers is the transparency, a characteristic that the paper format lacked and can be now seen in the dispatch area thanks to the celerity and inalterability of the caseloads.
In six years, the whole Judiciary of Peru is expected to be able to use the electronic file, which will cause the State to save around 11 million soles annually just by not buying paper. This is a major improvement in a country whose judicial production amounts to more than 2 million cases, with about 5,000 resolutions being issued a day.
