Abstract

Digital litigation has emerged as a central component of contemporary judicial systems, promising efficiency and broader access to justice. However, its implementation often confronts legislative gaps, as many regulations rely on adaptations of traditional procedural codes designed for physical court settings, which may not adequately address the unique challenges posed by digital environments. This raises critical questions regarding the preservation of fair trial guarantees, including the right of defense, adversarial proceedings, and judicial impartiality. Additionally, this study adopts a critical approach to examine the adequacy of current legal frameworks in safeguarding these guarantees while addressing the challenges posed by digital procedures. It further proposes reform-oriented solutions to bridge legislative gaps and ensure that digital litigation develops within a coherent, balanced, and fair procedural framework.
