Abstract

In this article the authors explore the topic of the use of information and communication technologies and electronic communication in court proceedings while giving an overview of the existing legislative framework governing this area with an analysis of their impact on the increasing scope of electronic business. The use of electronic data processing in the land register system is certainly a very demanding
process not only in sense of financial, security question and technical sense, but also in the area of legal regulation of the process of electronic identification and conversion of land register in the electronic form. The paper outlines the most significant novelties enacted by the Land Registry Act in the year 2019 regarding the electronic operation
of the electronic land register, as well as an overview of the provisions of the new Rulebook on electronic business of users and authorized users of the land registry system. The electronic processing of land registry data, and in particular rules on unrestricted access to land registry data through electronic communications, raises a number of issues of establishing an optimal balance in the protection of citizens
interests and rights, and in particular the protection of electronic registry and citizens personal data. Unrestricted access to electronic land register contributes to a greater security of legal transactions and greater protection of enrolled holders of legal rights. On the other hand, it raises significant questions regarding the protection of constitutionally guaranteed constitutional rights.
