Citizen consultation on Draft Bill 244
The Citizen Consultation on Draft Law 244 is an initiative launched by the Judiciary of Panama, which seeks to receive comments and suggestions from the citizens regarding a draft law that intends to reform the Judicial Code in order to simplify civil proceedings. Some of the proposed reforms are implementing the de-judicialization of processes (transferring some non-contentious judicial procedures from the jurisdictional to the administrative and private sphere) and limiting the entry of files, so that the courts can process them quickly and efficiently. Citizens interested in participating can submit their remarks to an email established by the Judiciary, who will then review them and analyze its potential inclusion to the Draft Bill.
