If, due to disruptions, it is not possible to submit procedural documents to the court via EPP, it is advisable to do so by sending them directly to the court by regular or electronic mail, signed with a qualified electronic signature, as well as by submitting them through the E-delivery system.

When deciding on the renewal of missed procedural deadlines or the extension of set deadlines, the Judicial Council advises courts to assess the impact of EPP disruptions on individuals’ ability to perform procedural actions on time.
“Each situation is assessed individually, and the decision on the renewal or extension of procedural deadlines is made only by the judge hearing the case,” states the National Courts Administration’s announcement distributed on Friday.
Similarly, if courts are unable to deliver documents to participants in the proceedings via EPP, they are urged to do so in person at the court or by other methods mentioned above and provided for in legal acts.
“Liteko II” is a complex system designed for providing e-services to courts, organizing processes, distributing cases, managing data, publishing, and exchanging information. The system integrates almost 40 other state data systems or registers.
Therefore, the National Courts Administration calls the upgrade of “Liteko” to “Liteko II” one of the largest updates of state-managed information systems.
As announced, “Liteko II” experienced speed and function performance disruptions on June 1st after transitioning to the new system.
Danguolė Bublienė, Chairwoman of the Judicial Council, admitted on Facebook on Thursday that the disruptions complicate the daily work of many judges and court staff and cause frustration.

“The Judicial Council undoubtedly hears the expectation of the court community and other participants in the proceedings to return to the old ‘Liteko’ system. However, it is not that simple – we are talking about millions of data records, procedural connections, and integrations with other systems,” said D. Bublienė.
According to her, now it is not about looking for a way back, but about solving problems as quickly as possible by ensuring the stable operation of “Liteko II”.
“The most important thing is to ensure that courts can perform their functions as smoothly as possible, and that participants in the proceedings experience as few inconveniences as possible. We must address emerging challenges promptly, but also responsibly and systematically,” stated the Chairwoman of the Judicial Council in a new post on Friday.
According to data provided by the Courts Administration to the news portal “Delfi”, “Liteko II” has been developed by the company “Proit” since 2019. It is included in the list of unreliable suppliers due to the circumstances of the update of the Social Support for Families Information System (SPIS).
The total value of 11 contracts for the creation of the “Liteko II” system amounts to over 4.6 million euros, with 3.9 million euros actually paid out under them.
In turn, Justinas Brokorius, head of “Proit”, told the news portal that the company “Novian pro”, hired to supervise the system, is responsible for its operation.
