Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of the transition of Polish commercial courts to remote working via online proceedings. To achieve this goal, we will exploit the natural experiment in 2020—the COVID-19 pandemic—which forced many areas of human activity (including the justice system) to move to the internet. Using data envelopment analysis and stochastic frontier analysis, we will show that the switch had no significant impact on the efficiency of Polish commercial courts. However, these results are to be treated with some caution. The efficiency benefits of the new technology may have been reduced by the steep learning curve and the fact that the decision to change was made suddenly and under the pressure of the disease. The topic requires, therefore, further scientific attention.
