The Colombian government and its high courts are trying to introduce a number of changes to court procedures.

 

At the end of last year the new Code of Administrative Procedures and Administrative Disputes was promulgated, which will be valid from 2012, to regulate the relations between the governed and the state, in both the so-called administrative remedies as well as during the litigation phase against the State itself. The new code brings a set of principles, rules and regulations that tend to include the electronic media and oral procedures as a basis for speeding up times and instances.
 

In a measure probably more crucial the government is studying, with the help of the most respected think-tank on these issues, the Colombian Institute of Procedural Law, under the aegis of the Master Jairo Parra, the operation of a single procedure code that could include civil, commercial, labor and criminal law actions.
 

All this augurs well for Colombia, for its citizens, entrepreneurs, investors, for the victims of offenses, who may find in the court system, a proper, agile and efficient forum, the solution for their claims, demands, disputes and controversies.
