Abstract

Self-representation in the courts could be seen as a means to improve access to justice. It saves the litigants the cost of a lawyer. These costs have been reported to be the biggest financial obstacle for parties with a dispute. This contribution based on the panel discussion on the topic of self-representation identifies some questions regarding self-representation from a Dutch policy maker’s perspective. These questions relate among others to the increasing complexity of society, the role of the courts and the judges in a civil procedure, the financing of the court system, legal aid and the role of oral presentations as a key element of self-representation in relation to IT-based proceedings. The conclusion is that we would need answers to these questions before we decide on a policy on self-representation in our courts.

Fußnoten
1
The cantonal judge falls under the Dutch court of first instance. It deals with cases with a maximum of € 25,000 and with all cases relating to labour law, landlord-tenant case and most consumer cases (article 93 Dutch Code of Civil Procedure). The procedure before the cantonal judge is a single-judge procedure (article 47 of the Law on the Judiciary (Wet op de Rechterlijke Organisatie).

In 2017 in only 1% of the cases (4500) the claimant was self-represented, defendants were self-represented in 10% of the cases (35,600), see Minister for Legal Protection (2018).

The Netherlands country report in the IC2BE project suggests that complexity of the case and language issues may also be a factor here. See EA Ontanu (2020).

Cf. the British Columbia Civil Resolution Tribunal, an online dispute resolution device based on the perspective of the citizen without legal knowledge, https://​civilresolutionb​c.​ca/​. The fact that in Canada they have chosen to offer this mechanism out of court rather than within the court does not seem relevant in this respect.
