E-justice has been highly prioritised in the EU as a part of the Digital Single Market. The overriding aims of e-justice at the EU level are to improve access to justice, particularly cross-border cases in civil and commercial matters, and, more recently, to enhance administration and collaboration in criminal matters. Several uniform civil procedures have been established in recent years, notably the European order for payments and the European small claim procedure. In the procedures, ICT use encourages alternative dispute resolution (ADR); online dispute resolution (ODR) regulation has been established recently.
