Last week, the Council of the Judiciary announced that it had successfully completed the Electronic Judicial File. “The modernization of the search system for judicial proceedings online is a fact. For an efficient, complete and timely administration of justice,” the agency said.

In practice, that announcement collided with the repairs that externalized in social networks lawyers such as Lorena Grillo, Paulina Araujo and others who had tried to visualize the real content of the electronic file and only found text.

The Council of the Judiciary has published on its social networks and on its website that they have complied with the Organic Law for Digital Transformation, and they have implemented the electronic file, which is absolutely false,” said Grillo.

The lawyer specified that “they have simply renamed and updated the old Satje and today the Expel-Electronic File, displays the legal proceedingsand not even the cover of the electronic file that they announced”, he complained.

While the criminal lawyer and university professor Paulina Araujo expressed: “with all due respect, it is not like that. The new Satje format does the same as the other (it is the same search system, very different from what an electronic file really is) and it presents anomalies, for example, it no longer allows you to download the proceedings in PDF”.

Lawyer Juan Xavier Santos wrote on his Twitter account that they simply changed the presentation to Satje”. He stated that if he does a search without making progress, he will get legal proceedings, which is of no use to me. “But it is false that they have incorporated the electronic judicial file, I just checked.”

EXPRESO consulted the Judiciary regarding the cost of implementing the electronic file. The response of that body was a statement by the president of the body Wilman Terán in which he mentioned that the actions were executed by self-management of the Council.

The official stated that “this tool It is oriented to be the pillar of the digital transformation of justice.

It will facilitate the search for the information on court proceedings and the information generated by the system automatically”.
