MPs finally voted on the amendments to the Civil Procedure Code, which allow videoconferencing in court. The legal parties or their representatives will be present in a specially equipped special room, without the opportunity to participate in the meeting from another place or from home, in case they are quarantined. 

According to the changes, the court will be able to gather evidence by videoconference, but only at the request of a party, as well as to hear an expert on the case when he or she is in another area.
