EU DIGI-GUARD researchers meet in Poland
Recently, Associate Professor Marie Linton and Professor Eric Bylander from Juridicum in Uppsala were in Wrocław, Poland, for the first expert meeting of the EU-funded research project DIGI-GUARD.
The DIGI-GUARD project, in which Marie Linton and Eric Bylander participate as national experts, is a collaboration in the field of international civil procedural law. Researchers and experts from several EU Member States are participating in the project, which aims to explore the ongoing digitalisation of the taking of evidence and service of documents in cross-border civil cases.
During the conference in Poland, national legal systems were discussed in relation to the two recently revised regulations on the taking of evidence (EU Regulation No 2020/1783) and the service of documents (EU Regulation No 2020/1784). From a Swedish perspective, for example, the many variants of the Swedish national law on service of documents can be problematic in a European context, both factually and linguistically.
