Emergency Judicial Proceedings and the Digitalization of Land Registration Procedures in Morocco: Shifting Challenges and Evolving Powers -The Case of Pre-notation-

Abstract

This research examines the profound transformation experienced by summary proceedings jurisdiction in Morocco during the era of land registration procedure digitalization, specifically focusing on pre-notation cases. Following the implementation of Decree No. 2.18.181 of December 10, 2018, which established electronic management of land registration operations, summary judges face new procedural paradigms that fundamentally redefine the exercise of their jurisdictional mandate. Digitalization generates unprecedented challenges for summary magistrates, as the compression of processing timeframes-a central objective of digitization-intensifies temporal pressures on judicial decision-making, while the emergence of cybersecurity vulnerabilities and data transmission complexities inherent to digital systems necessitate heightened scrutiny in evaluating conservatory measures.
