The procedural risks inherent in the field of e-justice are
considered by the example of participation in a court session in
the web conference mode. The practice of application by the
courts of legislative provisions on the appropriate format of
holding court hearings is analysed; by the example of specific
judicial acts, emerging approaches to resolving issues by courts
that arise during online meetings are identified. The “imposition”
by courts of the remote format of participation in the process is
critically assessed, as well as the imposition on the participants
in the process of procedural risks associated with the inability to
actually take part in the meeting for reasons beyond their control.
Concrete solutions are proposed to minimise the identified risks
and improve procedural legislation.
