ECLI will not be assigned to previously ruled
decisions
 
It will be applied to all types of decisions which are
added and registered in the Court information system,
except for cases where either the decisions are
resolutions or the decisions are made by an
investigative judge
 
During registering of a decision, ECLI will be
assigned automatically. The mandatory and
supplemental metadata can then be added

It is a national informative system, which includes
recordkeeping and a solution of legal information
recording for operational needs and a solution of data
distribution for district (city) courts, regional courts and
the Supreme Court
 
Development and the goal of the system is to automate
cycle of courts recordkeeping by providing a single
electronic information recording, storage, using,
transmission and availability, as well as necessary
exchange of information between courts and authorities
in an automated mode as well as automated statistical
preparation of reports
 
System is used by judges and court staff

Agreement with all involved parties on order number creation
principles - on the one hand are calls for complexity, on the
other hand are requests for simplicity
Changes were needed in adapting the court name abbreviation
classificatory to the ECLI format requirements. The existing
classificatory consisted only of numbers, while the ECLI
format requires at least one letter
When creating a decision that references other decisions with
ECLI, the existence of the decisions are validated against the
decisions available in the ECLI search engine. If the validation
is successful, a hyperlink is added to the ECLI code leading to
the specific decision.
Hopefully integrating of the Court information system with and
ECLI search engine will not cause significant issues
In the framework of the project experience of other countries
was viewed, for instance, our delegation visited MoJ of Italia
and this experience was very useful

Did we encounter specific challenges?

The Project experts team had several meetings and
negations with judges, who voiced their opinions and
gave suggestions on how to improve the ECLI order
number structure, so that decisions could be easily
found by ECLI
 
A conference will be organized in September this
year, during which judges from all regional and
district (city) courts will be introduced to the
objectives of ECLI and the project goals for ECLI
implementation in Latvia. The conference will also
include a Q&A session.

The implementation of the European Case Law Identifier (ECLI) in Latvia involves significant collaboration between the Court Administration and the European Commission. This project aims to improve online access to court decisions, focusing on the assignment of ECLI to decisions of the Supreme Court, regional courts, and district courts in Latvia. The ECLI will not be assigned to previously ruled decisions but will cover all decision types registered in the Court information system. Integration with an ECLI search engine is planned.
