Annotation: The potential of the analogy of law, which made it possible to find new forms and methods of interaction with litigants, was actively developing in the conditions of the pandemic. The article reveals some problems of the functioning of the judicial systems of the studied countries in order to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of this experience. The task of the study is a brief review of the experience of civil proceedings in the context of a pandemic on the example of Australia and China, consideration of certain aspects of the digitalization of justice. The purpose of the study is to highlight the practical proposals of foreign jurisdictions to increase the accessibility of justice, to reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the experience gained in modernizing approaches to the use of information technology. Methodological basis is the formal legal method, comparative legal method, as well as general scientific methods of cognition. The analysis of foreign experience of working in a crisis situation allows us to formulate ideas for the future, highlighted by the conditions of the pandemic and requiring public discussion. It is significant that a number of mechanisms of the two independent systems proposed for implementation have common fundamental features: the transition to the active use of videoconferencing, including with parties located abroad, the availability of mechanisms for suspending procedural deadlines during the pandemic.
