Abstract:

This thesis has the purpose of demonstrating that the use of the first legal copy of the notarial reporting deed as enforceable verdict in the civil proceedings before e-Court, is permitted under the laws of the Netherlands. E-Court, the first private online small claims court, introduced this practical use of the notarial deed in January 2010 in the Netherlands. As a consequence private justice became an affordable, fast and simple alternative for the public courts, while the verdict would be enforceable in the same manner as a verdict from the public courts.
