Abstract

The e-notice as a mean to communicate administrative acts and judicial rulings is as valid as other forms of notification in the Ecuadorean legal system, due to its efficiency and efficacy. Nevertheless, imposing the mandatory use of an electronic address to every citizen cannot be done because of the country’s economic and social reality. The article proposes a legal reform that states an order of preference in which the e-notice becomes the preferred way to communicate legal documents. without interfering with the citizen’s freedom to choose where and how to receive notifications; bringing legal certainty to state workers when notifying; and safeguarding the due process of more Ecuadorians.
