On 4 May, as part of the French Presidency of the Council of the European Union, the High Council of the French notariat (CSN) and the Ministry of Justice organised a joint conference on “Civil Justice in Europe in the Digital Age”. 19 countries and the European institutions were represented. Speakers included the European Commissioner for Justice, the Director for Civil Affairs, the Executive Director of the EU-Lisa agency and the President of the Council of the Notariats of the European Union (CNUE). Opened by the President of the CSN, the debates took stock of what had been achieved by notaries and magistrates (remote power of attorney, open data of court decisions) but also of the risks and opportunities for the future: respect for privacy, limits of the use of artificial intelligence, digital divide.
