Abstract
The introduction of new technologies, as well as digital is a new logical stage in the development of society, affecting all areas of humanity, including legal. The digitalization of society is becoming the most important factor in economic growth and is a modern trend in the development of any country in the world.

Unfortunately, so far there are no generally accepted and harmonized definitions and legal definitions for the legal regulation of introducing digital technologies in the Ukrainian legal system. This necessitates a more thorough study of implementing digital technologies in the legal field. This article is devoted to the problems concerning legal regulation of remote court proceedings by videoconference, which is designed to simplify access to justice and lead to savings in material and procedural means in court proceedings. The purpose of this article is to identify problematic issues regarding legal regulation of distance litigation in Ukraine and to propose mechanisms for its improvement as well as to harmonize it with international legal standards.
