Hi Mikko,
It's more the contents that matter here. I'm now more interested of
systems and legislation
by which you can file and receive documents thrue internet. This is
more common in
other administration, but is coming to courts as well. It then very much
works in the
form that the courts and ministry of Justice wants, and there is very
strict rules on
how and in which form the exchange of information is conducted.
We have this too in the field of IP law in Europe. Each administration
sets different standards for filing and filling in the required
information (PDF forms, DOC forms, XML based solutions (PATXML for
patent filings). At the moment, many courts in France (where I work),
aren't equipped to take electronic filings. The French PTO requires that
you use Windows based proprietary certificate signing software :-((, and
the European Patent Office uses a smartcard reader (GemPlus) whose
encryption libraries only appear to run under Windows, for which the
code does not appear to be available.
