From Friday, June 30th, there will be a "clear and concise" revolution in civil proceedings: the acts of both parties and judges must be "clear and concise." However, the defenders are subject to strict limitations: 50 thousand characters, approximately 25 pages, for citations and appeals, half for pleadings and replies, and 4 thousand characters, approximately two pages, for the written treatment notes that replace the hearing. All with keywords, precise factual and legal references, indexes, and hyperlinks to the documents provided in communication. Except for exceptions, there are no notes. The ministerial decree being approved provides for everything. It will also apply to ongoing legal proceedings. The goal is to bring clarity and synthesis to all stages of the process. New layout rules include 12 point characters, 1.5 line spacing, and 2.5 centimeter horizontal and vertical margins; better fonts that do not strain the eye, such as Times New Roman, Verdana, Arial, and Garamond; and these are acts that are now read more on the PC than on paper.
