From 16 until 21 September 2007 the XIIIth World Congress on procedural law was held in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil. The congress was dedicated to the theme `New Trends in Procedural Law” and was organised by the International Association of Procedural Law.
In this volume one can find the reports regarding the themes:
• Information Technology in litigation

The book is dedicated to professor Jean Laenens. His death on August 20, 2007 at the age of 57, caused a shadow to descend on all the Belgian and Dutch reporters.
There are no separate chapters available for this publication.
