Electronic notification and its authority in the Palestinian legislation

Abstract

Notifications constitute one of the reasons for litigation procedures, and the Palestinian legislator has dealt with the issue of notifications in the Code of Civil and Commercial Procedure No. (2) of 2001 in its first chapter, in addition to other articles in the Implementation Law No. (23) of 2005, but both laws did not address the notification procedures by modern means, which creates several problems that often lead to the loss of rights due to the incompleteness of the notification procedure. Perhaps, this is a result of a person's instability in one place without declaring his new address, which makes it difficult to post the notification sue to not recognizing this address. This requires that the Palestinian legislator take into account the huge technological developments and amend the law by adding electronic notification as one of the legal mechanisms for notification.
