Abstract

After 17 years since its entry into force, the ESCP Regulation is still scarcely applied by national courts of EU Member States. Against this backdrop, the objective of this paper is evaluating whether digitalizing the procedure could save it from obsolescence. In this regard, it will be contended that the automation of the ESCP would not provide solutions to topical problems affecting the system, such as its limited integration in domestic legal systems and its full reliance on the Member States’ existing internal organization of the judiciary.
