This actually looks like - let's build an api "because we can". Not "because it's reasonable". I presume, that process of suing still requires some kind of human approval and post-processing. An idea of e-court is great, if restricted to small and simple claims, though.

Edit: I am astonished by these numbers. I don't believe that this is court per se. Can somebody elaborate? 1.6 million issued payment orders is huge number even for Poland :)

The adjudicating personnel of the e-court comprises four judges and 96 court officials (referendarze-officials adjudicating independently in certain categories of cases) who are supported by 70 clerks. As of October the 1st 2011, 2 000 000 lawsuits have been lodged in the e-court, and in some 1 600 000 cases payment orders have been issued.
