Abstract

The latest Multiannual European e-Justice Action Plan (2014-2018) embraced e-CODEX as the solution for achieving cross-border judicial cooperation by facilitating the digital exchange of case related data. Since the start of the project in December 2010, e-CODEX has transformed from a ambitious project to an operational Digital Service Infrastructure (DSI) in the judicial domain. Currently, the focus lies on the transition of the e-CODEX project towards a long-term sustainable solution for the maintenance of e-CODEX. In this article, the authors present the challenge to establish a comprehensive governance model for e-CODEX. Five PRINCEII-inspired governance roles are introduced to set a framework for the interaction between the involved actors. Special attention is given to the unique position of the judiciary in this context.
