Kuwait's Cabinet Approves Major E-Justice Amendment
Kuwait's Cabinet has approved a significant legislative amendment, marking a major step towards the implementation of e-justice in the country. The amendment aims to digitize the Penal Order System, which handles minor cases and misdemeanors. This move is expected to enhance efficiency and transparency in the judicial process.
The new system, once fully operational, will manage the entire process electronically, from receiving requests to issuing and announcing rulings. This transition addresses logistical challenges posed by accumulated paper files and enables faster adjudication of cases. Last year alone, nearly 250,000 penal orders were issued, highlighting the need for digital transformation to improve efficiency.
The amendment also addresses the handling of seized items in criminal cases and enhances transparency through full electronic documentation. This aligns Kuwait with global digital judicial reform trends. The head of government who approved this amendment remains unnamed in available search results.
The new electronic system promises to reduce workload on both courts and litigants, enabling quicker resolution of minor cases. With the Cabinet's approval, Kuwait is poised to embrace a more streamlined and accurate judicial process, further bolstering its commitment to digital transformation.
