Abstrakt

Opóźnienia w procesach sądowych są poważnym problemem dla systemów sądowniczych.
W 2017 roku Iran wprowadził przepisy dotyczące cyfryzacji systemu sądownictwa
w celu rozwiązania tego problemu. Artykuł pokazuje, czy nowa polityka była skutecznym
ruchem i przedstawia rozwiązania o długoterminowych skutkach dla przezwyciężenia opóźnień
w procesach sądowych. Aby zbadać efektywność niedawnych reform, autor analizuje
wydajność rozwiązywania sporów w Iranie, korzystając z danych wtórnych z badań Doing
Business oraz raportów Centrum Badań parlamentu irańskiego, w celu pomiaru środowiska
biznesowego od 2016 roku, przed wprowadzeniem tych przepisów, a następnie do 2019 roku.
Dochodzi się do wniosku, że metodologia Prawa i Ekonomii jest odpowiednią metodologią
do analizowania efektywności polityki Iranu z 2017 roku, która również przedstawia sposoby
osiągnięcia bardziej trwałych wyników w przezwyciężaniu opóźnień w procesach sądowych.
Głównym wynikiem tego badania jest to, że według efektywności Kaldora-Hicksa niedawne
reformy Iranu związane z cyfryzacją systemu sądownictwa były skutecznym ruchem, jednakże,
ze względu na charakter tych reform, ta skuteczność nie jest trwała.
