This line of thought relates to cases that are decided by humans. The last few years have seen rapid progress in the development of artificial intelligence, and an increasing number of ideas have been put forward that envisage the transfer of algorithmic task execution to the world of law. Legal theory and jurisprudence are interdependent, and a solution needs to be found to the question of how much algorithms can reduce the burden on the judiciary in the application of the law. This problem is not alien to legal theory, since the idea of law as an axiomatic system and the idea of judgment machines was already present in Leibniz’s philosophy.","PeriodicalId":238918,"journal":{"name":"COFOLA International 2022.

An interesting example of the exercise of this right is the decision of the vice-president of the CJEU of 21 May 2021, which imposed on the Republic of Poland a periodic penalty payment of € 500,000 per day. In the course of the proceedings before the CJEU, Poland raised the procedural charges discussed in this paper. The conclusion is that there are no obstacles to the adjudication of these measures.","PeriodicalId":238918,"journal":{"name":"COFOLA International 2022.

For instance, the linguistic interpretation of the Act raises several problems in practice, to which case law responds with an ad hoc approach rather than on a systematic basis. This paper seeks to analyse the current changes the legislative process is bringing to streamline legislation, and draws attention to other shortcomings that need to be addressed. The paper considers the necessary comprehensive recodification of the Slovak Private International Law Act.","PeriodicalId":238918,"journal":{"name":"COFOLA International 2022.

The question of whether the arbitral award should remain confidential is however not unified across different jurisdictions. The regulation of this matter varies even when it comes to rules of various arbitration tribunals. Some jurisdictions consider the confidentiality of arbitral award to be an implied obligation derived from the very nature of arbitral process. This article analyses the legal regulation of confidentiality of arbitral awards on various levels while the importance of the publication is presented in the context of the lack of decisional coherence in international arbitration. Further, the resolution of potential conflict of the regulations is analysed. There are good reasons for making awards publicly available. Considering the information society of the 21st century, the fact that the publication of awards is regulated differently in different jurisdictions is a hindrance of parties’ legal certainty.","PeriodicalId":238918,"journal":{"name":"COFOLA International 2022.

However, according to the state of things in 2022, judgments in ASEAN cannot circulate entirely freely within the Member States. This paper deals with one of the potential aspects that a state may consider when it decides whether to enforce a foreign judgment: the quality of civil justice in the country from which the judgment originates. The aim of this research is to ascertain if there is any correlation (and if so, what) between the ASEAN Member States’ stances regarding the enforceability of commercial judgments rendered by the courts of another Member State and the quality of civil judicial service of the latter.","PeriodicalId":238918,"journal":{"name":"COFOLA International 2022.

It examines the legislative processes these solutions have generated and, looking ahead, asks whether these legislative solutions can be expected to remain timeless or even evolve. Unfortunately, the examination of this question has also become topical, as humanity, which has been locked in a pandemic, is once again facing serious isolation due to the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The global loss of confidence, which is dramatically accelerating in a war situation, is a further serious challenge compared to the pandemic experience. What role can alternative dispute resolution play in this situation? Are the technological changes imposed by the pandemic useful for alternative dispute resolution?","PeriodicalId":238918,"journal":{"name":"COFOLA International 2022.
