THE EVOLUTION OF ELECTRONIC ADMINISTRATION AND ITS PRACTICE IN JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS

Cilj rada je ispitati odredbe koje se odnose na elektroničku upravu u novom mađarskom Zakonu o građanskom postupku, te istodobno istražiti i neka druga srodna pitanja. Elektroničku komunikaciju u upravnim i pravosudnim pitanjima potiče se u Europskoj uniji kako bi se razvile e-vlade u državama članicama. Prvi dio rada istražuje politiku EU-a vezano uz e-vladu, a koja predstavlja okvir za provedbu u državama članicama. Cilj je drugog dijela rada dati pregled inicijativa vezanih uz e-vladu u Mađarskoj. Vidljivo je da je u prošlosti postojalo nekoliko inicijativa za unaprjeđenje razvoja e-vlade koje su ostvarene tek nedavno kada je usvojen novi Zakon o građanskom postupku i novi Zakon o upravnom postupku. U posljednja dva dijela rada daje se pregled navedenih zakona. Može se zaključiti da pravna struka nije sasvim spremna za navedene promjene.The aim of the paper is to examine the provisions on electronic administration of the new Hungarian Code on Civil Procedure while also exploring some other related issues. Electronic communication in administrative and judicial matters was fostered by the European Union in order to develop e-government in member states. The first part of the study explores the EU’s policy on e-government which served as a framework for the member states to implement. The second part aims at giving an overview of the e-government initiatives in Hungary. It can be seen that there were several initiatives for advancing the development of e-government in the past, however they only came into fruition recently when the new code on civil procedure and the new act on administrative procedure were adopted. The last two parts of the paper give an overview of the aforementioned acts. It can be concluded that the legal profession is not quite ready for these changes
