Judiciary is high-tech

SOUTH Africa's justice is going high-tech next month with a system that will prevent meddling with case files, high court Judge Eberhard Bertelsmann said yesterday.

"With this system, judges will be given an electronic case file the moment a case is opened. The electronic files will be saved in a server and will have certain features to prevent meddling," he said.

Bertelsmann was talking at the Consumer Goods Council of SA's conference in Johannesburg. He said documents could now be send in seconds via e-mail.
