CIVIL COURTS COPING with COVID-19 Krans & Nylund (Eds.) Dr University Dr University 8 CIVIL COURTS COPING Bart Krans & Anna Nylund (Eds.) CIVIL COURTS WITH COVID-19 COPING WITH Krans & Nylund (Eds.) COVID-19 CIVIL COURTS COPING The unforeseen Covid-19 pandemic has propelled, and continues to propel, unprecedented transformations to civil proceedings and the landscape in which they operate. Courts have proven to be creative and innovative in their responses to the pandemic, and in their ability to implement digitisation of paperwork and remote hearings. This book contains a comparative study of how courts in 23 countries have coped with the pandemic, addressing selected innovations and adaptations to court proceedings, factors facilitating and impeding the digital leap, and new concerns that new technology and the pandemic engenders. The authors discuss the implications of digitisation, such as ensuring equal access to courts, novel issues concerning fair trial rights in remote proceedings, the role of alternative WITH dispute resolution during the pandemic, and the roots of resistance to digitisation. Several contributions also address whether and how innovations during the pandemic may transform civil litigation in the future.

Preface In September 2020, we asked selected colleagues whether they would be interested in participating in a study on how civil courts have responded to the Covid-19 pandemic by writing a short text on the situation in their own jurisdiction. Their immediate and positive response was heart-warming, and by the end of the year, we had received all contributions. This excellent response and the swift delivery of the individual chapters are especially remarkable since the pandemic has not only had adverse consequences on civil proceedings. University teaching staff have also come under great pressure. They faced the sudden need for a new way of teaching in line with Covid-19 measures, having to switch to online teaching in addition to, or in lieu of, face-to-face teaching. We are immensely grateful that so many colleagues decided to join this book project at such short notice and despite the challenges of life during the pandemic. It has been a most enjoyable and rewarding experience. We would also like to express our gratitude to Leiden University students Emma Stekelenburg and Julie Reynders for assisting us during the final stages of this project. Without doubt, their fast and fabulous work ensured a smooth process in finalizing the manuscript. Finally, a word of thanks to publisher Eleven. It is not a given that a publisher agrees to make an online publication available online and open access – and make a ‘real book’ at the same time. We greatly appreciate their willingness to meet our needs in this regard. The publication charges for this book have been partially funded by a grant from the publication fund of the University Library of UiT The Arctic University of Norway and by the Department of Private Law of Leiden University.

Bart Krans and Anna Nylund* 1 Unforeseen and Unprecedented The unforeseen Covid-19 pandemic has propelled, and continues to propel, unprecedented transformations to civil proceedings and the landscape in which they operate. Numerous countries across the globe have faced and continue to face the question of how to enable courts to cope with civil cases despite numerous restrictions to the operation of societal functions. After the initial almost full stop in the machinery of civil justice at the onset of the pandemic during the first six months of 2020, courts needed to resume delivering justice. However, many pre-pandemic practices, rules and standards were clearly inappropriate for the new reality, and since the end of the pandemic was not imminent, the civil justice system had to adapt to the exceptional, labile societal circumstances. In late April 2020, we published a study on the initial reactions of civil justice to the pandemic. The study gave a snapshot of the initial reactions of 15 civil justice systems. Courts in all 15 countries were in the process of making a digital leap, but there were still considerable differences among the countries. While we could already see the contours of strategies for coping with the exceptional situation in April 2020, many issues were only emerging at that time. By the time of the present writing, February 2021, some of these issues have become salient. Hence, we attempt to explore how civil courts across the globe are coping with the effects of the pandemic. What have been the most pressing problems, and how have these problems been resolved? What kinds of factors have facilitated or hindered courts pivoting from paper-based and face-to-face hearings to paperless proceedings and remote hearings? What issues does the technological leap engender? What mechanisms other than digitisation help courts continue to operate during ‘the state of exception’? Has the pandemic produced a shift in the role of courts? These and many other questions have emerged.1 * Bart Krans, Professor Private Law and Civil Procedure Law, Leiden University, Netherlands; [email protected].

See also European Law Institute, 1 Bart Krans and Anna Nylund 2 Different Circumstances, Different Responses to the Pandemic Every single day since February 2020, we have been faced with data on how the number of Covid-19 infections, hospitalisations and deaths have surged and declined at different tempos in each country and region. In parallel, we have experienced measures to contain the spread of the virus: social distancing, curfews, lockdowns and so forth. Since both the spread of the virus and the measures vary across countries – and even states and regions within countries – the impact of the pandemic on civil justice also varies. That variation, combined with pre-pandemic differences among the civil justice systems around the world, renders it quite challenging to make firm statements on the impact of the virus and the measures taken to address it on civil justice systems globally.

It involves the amounts of assistance obtained by the employers from the Fund of obligatory national social insurance of Ukraine on unemployment case (hereinafter referred to as the Fund) and paid to the employees. It is worth reminding that such assistance during quarantine can be received, in particular, by employers from among small and medium enterprises for the period of suspension (reduction) of activity, as well as within 30 calendar days after the end of quarantine. Physical persons-entrepreneurs have been recently provided with step-by-step instruction for receiving partial unemployment assistance and all the employers were informed how many days they would have to wait for partial unemployment assistance. The tax authorities underlined that though the partial unemployment assistance is exempt from personal income tax, military tax and single social security tax, it needs to be fixed in form No.1DF. According to the Handbook of Income Features, given in the appendix to Procedure No.4, social benefits from the respective budgets are reflected in form No.1DF under the sign of income "128".

TB is the most common opportunistic infection and the leading cause of death in HIV-positive children worldwide. But there is paucity of studies concerning the predictors of mortality among TB-HIV co-infected children. This study aimed to determine the predictors of mortality among TB-HIV co-infected children attending ART clinics of public hospitals in Southern Nation, Nationalities and Peoples Region (SNNPR), Ethiopia. Methods: A hospital-based retrospective cohort study design was used among 284 TB-HIV co-infected children attending ART clinics at selected public hospitals in SNNPR, Ethiopia, from January 2009 to December 2019. Then, medical records of children who were TB/HIV co-infected and on ART were reviewed using a structured data extraction tool. Data were entered using Epidata 4.6 and analyzed using SPSS version 23. The Kaplan Meier survival curve along with log rank tests was used to estimate and compare survival time.

  • Tackling Corruption in Peru, 2011–2014 Synopsis
    BATTTLING A CANCER: TACKLING CORRUPTION IN PERU, 2011–2014 SYNOPSIS From 2000 to 2009, Peru’s justice system successfully prosecuted former president Alberto Fujimori and other high-level public officials for acts of corruption committed during the previous decade. But the country’s judicial institutions struggled to curb newer corruption networks that were operating with impunity throughout the country. Because the networks had penetrated the justice system itself, it was increasingly difficult to prosecute—let alone convict—people who had participated in briberies, kickbacks, or other schemes. In the 2011 presidential election, Ollanta Humala, whose campaign slogan was “Honesty Makes a Difference,” captured 51% of the vote and gave a boost to reformers within the country’s legal institutions. Humala joined the Open Government Partnership, strengthened Peru’s anticorruption commission, and brought together top leaders from the country’s judicial and legal institutions to improve the government’s response to corruption. In 2012, the comptroller general, the public prosecutor (attorney general), and the president of the judiciary created a new subsystem to bring to trial those officials accused of corruption. They created a new prosecutorial team and designated a specialized chamber to hear the most-complex corruption cases. At the same time, the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights strengthened its capacity to investigate and bring to trial cases involving the misuse of public resources. By 2015, several cases were in preparation, nearing trial. The fight against corruption in Peru continued to face many obstacles, however, including the perception that anticorruption efforts had lost top-level support. Blair Cameron drafted this case study based on interviews conducted in Peru in August 2015.

  • Pérez-León Acevedo Final
    Reparations and Prosecutions after Serious Human Rights Violations: Two Pending Issues in Peru’s Transitional Justice Agenda Juan Pablo Pérez-León Acevedo 22 March 2010 Peru’s internal armed conflict lasted twenty years (1980-2000). The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC)1 found that 69,280 people were killed in hostilities between, on the one hand, the Maoist movement, the Shining Path, and the leftist Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement, and, on the other, the armed forces and self-defence committees. The rural population was the most severely affected as rural inhabitants accounted for 79% of the fatalities, of whom 75% spoke Quechua or another indigenous language, and 56% came from areas with economies oriented towards agriculture. The TRC attributed 55.5% of crimes to non-State actors, especially the Shining Path. The remaining 44.5% fell under actions conducted by State armed forces and self-defence committees. This essay will provide an overview of the Peruvian process of reparations and prosecutions after serious human rights violations, focusing on aspects yet to be implemented. I argue that the current legislative framework, along with practical resource conditions, are either undermining or even blocking the potential of prosecutions and reparations – in the form of accountability and redress respectively - to consolidate transitional justice in Peru. I have focused on reparations and prosecutions since they were extensively recommended and perceived by the TRC as being crucial to fulfil the transitional justice and reconciliation efforts that the TRC initiated. Additionally, many Peruvians consider the fight against impunity as crucial; indeed reparations and prosecutions are understood as intertwined in the struggle for transitional justice in Peru.
