The Future of Digital Negotiation
The digitalisation of administrative law makes amicable settlements more accessible via portals such as MijnOverheid or eLoket. Using E-identification, parties can negotiate securely online regarding objections, supported by the Digital Government Act.
Advantages include traceability, speed, and lower thresholds for citizens. Examples include digital settlements for traffic fines or subsidy disputes, using electronic signatures.
Technical and Legal Requirements
- Secure authentication via DigiD or E-identification
- Audit trail for all communications
- Integration with the Joint Information System (JIS)
Authorities are investing in these solutions to modernise the General Administrative Law Act (Awb), with pilots achieving a 40% time saving. This democratises access to justice.
