Abstract

Ensuring efficient access to justice is a significant requirement from the point of view of the functioning of the legal system as a whole; its enforcement must be safeguarded even in crisis situations. This study aims to provide an overview of the international and European standards, recommendations and practices that have been developed in this context during the pandemic. Such a general assessment of the adaptability of institutions serving an efficient access to justice can contribute to the development of legal solutions, which ensure the effective enforcement of laws and rights in unprecedented crisis situations.
