With the exceptions established in this Law, the resolutions not included in Article 19 of this Law shall be notified by email, by fax, in mailboxes (casilleros), on court boards (estrados), or by any other technological form that guarantees the security of the act of communication; for this purpose, the party has the obligation to designate a means in accordance with Article 36 of this Law. The documents sent and received by any of those means shall have the validity and efficacy of original physical documents, also the archives of documents, messages, images, databases, and any application stored or transmitted by electronic, computer, magnetic, optical, telematic means or produced by new technologies, intended for judicial processing, that contain judicial communications. The foregoing provided that the procedures established to guarantee their authenticity, integrity, and security are complied with.
For the purpose provided for in the preceding paragraph, the parties shall indicate in their first brief, the means chosen to receive notifications. However, the judge, in their first resolution, shall order the defendant to comply with this procedural burden (carga procesal). In both cases, the omission shall produce the consequences of an automatic notification.
The copies of the briefs and documents shall be available to the parties at the respective court.
This rule shall not be applicable in proceedings for alimony (pensión alimentaria) and domestic violence, unless the party designates one of the authorized means.
