PART A - General

Article 1 - Settlement agreement, general conditions and regulations

Disputes between parties will solely be resolved by e-Court in compliance with its regulations and general conditions. This takes place in accordance with either the common law and/or the civil-law tradition whereby parties jointly instruct a third party to make a ruling on their behalf. The third party shall be e-Court.
Parties whilst providing irrevocable authority to e-Court in its position as third party also instruct
e-Court to confirm its decision when determining a dispute and/or uncertainty in a registered & enforeceable deed where applicable and a registered deed for application in other regions.
The general conditions and rules of e-Court are fully applicable to any dispute litigation through e-Court and the resulting legal relationship between all stakeholders. They are considered part of the settlement agreement between parties.

Article 2 - End of authority of government court judge

Where a party(ies) submit(s) a conflict to e-Court, that party(ies) automatically end(s) its support to the authority by any other body. The parties therefore agree to each other and with e-Court they have no longer an interest to settle their conflict and/or uncertainty through another outside body.
Parties choose explicitly to litigate through an expert legal e-Court judge, within a well defined process and with a possibility of an appeal, as such the procedure ends in a decision by the e-Court judge. Each party expressly disclaims against the other party any further action to review the e-Court decision by the judge outside e-Court.

Article 3 - Scope of e-Court judge authority; decision in absentia

e-Court has jurisdiction to deal with eligible common & civil cases under the common law and/or the civil-law traditions in Canada. If a case by a lawyer ( "counsel") of one party is presented to e-Court, the conflict is considered eligible for litigation through e-Court. E-Court, in that case will broadly interpret its authority and follow the understanding by the submitting counsel. However e-Court has all times the right to decline its jurisdiction and subsequent litigation.

e-Court will decline jurisdiction in criminal, administrative & destructive Board decisions, bankruptcy, certain family law issues (such as; name changes, paternity declarations and the like) as well as other jurisdictions reserved to government law jurisdiction.

If parties consent to litigate solely through e-Court, but either party wish not to give evidence through its submitted dossier(s) and/or either party clearly wish not to cooperate ( e.g not showing up in a appeal hearing ) during the e-Court process, then the e-Court judge can declare an absentia decision.
