Danish civil procedure is based on a number of procedural law principles that affect the taking of evidence, including the principle of party presentation, the principle of disposition, and the principle of free assessment of evidence. The nature of Danish procedural law tends towards the adversarial model rather than the inquisitorial model. Evidence is taken during the hearing and the principle of directness applies to the procedure. Danish civil procedure is governed by the 1916 Administration of Justice Act, which was originally strongly influenced by German law. The role of the judge is to lead the process and also to intervene in proceedings when uncertainty exists, rather than just to facilitate the process by ensuring the parties abide by the laws of civil procedure.

Nordisk Ministerråd har noteret sig FNs anbefalinger om at tage initiativer til at sikre de grundlæggende retsstatslige og demokratiske værdier i forbindelse med offentlig digitalisering og om at overveje tech-industriens stigende indflydelse på de offentlige administrationer. De fællesnordiske værdier om demokrati, retsstat, retssikkerhed og tillid mellem borgere og myndigheder bør bæres med ind i den digitale tidsalder. Derfor har Nordisk Ministerråd iværksat et pilot-projekt, der på baggrund af input og informationer fra myndigheder og prøvelsesinstanser i Norge, Sverige, Færørene, Finland og Danmark udpeger relevante temaer og initiativer. Teamet bag rapporten vurderer, at der er behov for, at: · styrke vidensdeling om praksis fra prøvelses- og tilsynsinstanser i de nordiske og baltiske lande · afdække og analysere de forfatnings- og menneskeretlige rammer for offentlig digitalisering og vurdere, om de forvaltningsretlige regler støtter op om, at offentlig digitalisering sker inden for disse overordnede rammer · undersøge digitaliseringens påvirkning af styrings- og ansvarskonstruktioner i de digitale forvaltninger og eventuelt også domstolsadministrationerne · undersøge lovgivningsmæssige tendenser, hvilke hensyn en given udvikling hviler på og vurdere denne i lyset af grundlæggende retssikkerhedsmæssige og retsstatslige værdier · retsvidenskabelig forskning indgår som en integreret del af projekter, der relaterer sig til offentlig digitalisering inden for de fællesnordiske forskningsprogrammer. Nordisk Ministerråd vil nu overveje, hvordan rådet kan støtte op om, at anvendelse af de digitale muligheder sker på en sådan måde, at der værnes om fællesnordiske værdier.
The Nordic Council of Ministers has noted the call from the UN to take measures in order to secure the fundamental values of rule of law and democracy in relation to public digitalisation and to consider the growing influence of the tech industry on public administration in the digital welfare states. The shared Nordic values of democracy, rule of law and trust between citizens and authorities, should be carried further into the digital age. Therefore, the Nordic Council of Ministers has initiated a pilot project that identify relevant themes and initiatives on the basis of input and information from public authorities and supervisory bodies in Norway, Sweden, The Faeroe Islands, Finland and Denmark. The team behind the report assesses that there is a need to: - strengthen the exchange of knowledge regarding investigations, reflections and case law of supervisory bodies in the Nordic and Baltic countries - identify and analyse the legal framework related to constitutional law and human rights for public sector digitisation, and to evaluate whether present administrative law provides sufficient support for compliance within these parameters - study the effects of digitisation on governance, control and liability structures in the field of public administration, possibly including the court administration - investigate the direction of the legislative development, clarify the underlying considerations and interests and assess this development in light of the values of legal certainty and rule of law - integrate legal research as an element of projects related to public digitisation within Nordic research programmes The Nordic Council of Ministers will now consider how it can support using the opportunities offered by digitisation so that they safeguard the shared Nordic values.
