The digital court system will change how the courts operates. Misplaced and missing files have often delayed cases in the past.
The e-filing of cases under digital court system had faced challenges in the past but the coronavirus has forced the Judiciary to fully adopt it.
All court users will register themselves through a portal https://efiling.court.go.ke, log on to the digital court system upload documents and assess the fees to be paid.
Court operations in Mombasa were suspended last week after 11 staff of the Judiciary tested positive for Covid-19.
