摘要

摘要前所未有的新冠肺炎大流行，在法律、司法等多个领域出台了限制性措施;一个例子是使用电子诉讼系统和视频会议设施进行审判。随着法律和司法部门进行改革以适应大流行病带来的限制，存在一个问题，即现行民事法庭诉讼规则是否旨在适应这些变化。本文旨在探讨法院为应对这一流行病而采取的措施，重点是亚洲，特别是新加坡。本文将概述根据新加坡法律为证人取证目的使用实时视频链接的法律依据，并将以新加坡民事诉讼为例，与其他司法管辖区进行比较，审查可能产生的影响。

Asian Courts in Times of COVID: Virtualization and the New Normal

Abstract The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has caused restrictive measures to be established in many sectors including the legal and judicial sector; an example is the use of electronic litigation systems and video-conferencing facilities for trials. With the implementation of changes in the legal and judicial sector to adapt to restrictions arising from the pandemic, there is the question of whether the current rules governing civil-court proceedings are designed to accommodate these changes. This article seeks to explore the measures taken by courts in response to the pandemic with a focus on Asia, notably Singapore. The article will outline the legal basis for the use of live video links for the purpose of witness evidence-taking under Singapore law and the possible implications will be reviewed taking Singapore’s civil proceedings as an example in comparison with other jurisdictions.

期刊介绍： The Asian Journal of Law and Society (AJLS) adds an increasingly important Asian perspective to global law and society scholarship. This independent, peer-reviewed publication encourages empirical and multi-disciplinary research and welcomes articles on law and its relationship with society in Asia, articles bringing an Asian perspective to socio-legal issues of global concern, and articles using Asia as a starting point for a comparative exploration of law and society topics. Its coverage of Asia is broad and stretches from East Asia, South Asia and South East Asia to Central Asia. A unique combination of a base in Asia and an international editorial team creates a forum for Asian and Western scholars to exchange ideas of interest to Asian scholars and professionals, those working in or on Asia, as well as all working on law and society issues globally.
