Abstract
The article analyzes the legal policy of the countries of the Council of Europe in the field of the formation and subsequent implementation of new mechanisms for online dispute resolution in civil and administrative proceedings. In this regard, the guidelines for the use of such mechanisms (which are set out in the relevant Recommendations of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe) are discussed in detail in the field of access to justice, equality of arms, evidence and evidence, trial and informed decision, as well as the right to review it. ... Attention is focused on the need to ensure the compatibility of such mechanisms with the key principles of a fair trial and effective remedies set out in the case law of the European Court of Human Rights, including the principles of publicity, transparency, directness, oral hearing and equality of persons involved in a case.A separate place is given to the problem of using online dispute resolution mechanisms in Russian civil and administrative proceedings. It is noted that today the domestic legislator, as part of the development of its own legal policy agenda, increasingly integrates innovative digital communication methods into the activities of the subjects of procedural legal relations. In particular, in the near future, along with video conferencing, the legislator will allow courts of general and arbitration jurisdiction to use web conferencing as an authentic technology for organizing online meetings and collaboration in real time via the Internet. All this creates a fertile ground for borrowing the positive world experience of introducing the latest mechanisms for online resolution of civil and administrative cases by the justice authorities, taking into account the inviolability of high standards of a fair trial.
