Publish date: sreda, 8. maj 2024 | Expiration date: četrtek, 29. maj 2025

The consortium comprising of eight partner institutions and overseen by the Faculty of Law of the University of Maribor, convened an expert meeting in Hannover (Germany) from December 14th to 16th, 2023, as part of the EU-funded "Digi-Guard" project.

 

The project focuses on addressing challenges related to electronic service of documents, electronic evidence, and videoconferencing in civil and commercial matters across EU borders.

Apart from the University of Maribor, project partners include Leibniz Universität Hannover, Universiteit Maastricht, Sveučilište u Rijeci, Pravni fakultet, Universität Graz, Uniwersytet Wroclawski, Institute for Comparative Law at the Faculty of Law in Ljubljana, and Cepris d.o.o.
Attending members of the Maribor Faculty of law include Prof. Dr. Vesna Rijavec, Prof. Dr. Tomaž Keresteš, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Katja Drnovšek, Assist. Dr. Denis Baghrizabehi, and Jasmina Klojčnik.
The participants outlined crucial guidelines for the project's final research phase, particularly emphasizing the need for comparative legal analyses. These analyses will draw upon a comprehensive collection of national reports from the 15 EU Member States to identify effective procedural legal frameworks and opportunities for adopting best practices or achieving future harmonization.
