Last year, 80 percent of the bankruptcy and liquidation proceedings have already been launched by electronic means at the courts throughout the country. That means a total of 95 112 cases submitted electronically, which constitutes an increase of more than 60 percent compared with the year 2017.

The High Court of Győr, the High Court of Szombathely and the High Court of Veszprém received more than 90 percent of their bankruptcy and liquidation cases electronically, which significantly exceeded the national average.
