A notice of meeting and provisional agenda published by the Council of the European Union schedules a meeting of the Working Party on e-Justice for 8 July 2026. The meeting will focus on the mid-term review of the European e-Justice Strategy, implementation of the DigitalJustice@2030 Strategy, and follow-up on e-CODEX issues.
The agenda includes adoption of the meeting agenda, followed by a framing discussion on the mid-term review of the European e-Justice Strategy (document WK 9724/26). The mid-term review could lead to adjustments in the strategy, potentially affecting cross-border digital legal cooperation. The Working Party will also examine a living repository tracking the implementation of the DigitalJustice@2030 Strategy, which aims to accelerate the digital transformation of EU justice systems, improving efficiency and access for citizens and legal professionals.
A key item is the state of play on e-CODEX after the Technical Working Group meeting on 15 June 2026. e-CODEX is a system enabling secure cross-border electronic communication in judicial proceedings; follow-up discussions may address technical issues to enhance its reliability. The Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (CCBE) will present experiences on implementing e-CODEX and other e-Justice systems, specifically regarding service of documents and taking of evidence. This presentation may highlight practical challenges faced by legal practitioners, influencing future policy.
Additionally, the Publications Office will present the JURE Collection, a database of EU case law on jurisdiction and judgments. Improved access to this collection could support legal practitioners and promote harmonisation of judicial decisions across member states. The meeting will conclude with any other business.
No prior coverage of this meeting or related e-Justice developments has been published in the last 180 days. The meeting is scheduled to take place in Brussels.
