The Best and Worst Laws of 2008

The NGO Law for People named the most fair and unfair laws of 2008 last week.

Law for People says the most fair and effective law of 2008 was the one adopted on March 14, 2008 about Electronic Signing and Electronic Documents. This law enables people to use an electronic document which has the same power as the hard copy of the document. Both documents are valid if they are approved by electronic signature. This would cut red tape and make the citizen’s relations with various organizations easier. The amendments to the Law About Public Registry is also a positive improvement, the NGO says. The amendments allow for a faster payment service, grant the Public Register the authority to identify the owner of a property, clarify the rights and obligations of the owners of immovable assets etc.

Law for People has been conducting annual monitoring of new laws since 2004, saying it wants to encourage the creation of just laws.
