Summary/Abstract: This article is a voice in the discussion on the aims and function of digital transformation of the Polish civil procedure. The author also points out the changes in the Polish legal order introduced by the legislator in recent years, in particular those connected with temporary solutions for the time of Covid-19 Pandemic. She analyses ITtools used in civil proceedings in the light of procedural rules. At first glance, it seems that digitalization may have quite an impact upon all the construction rules of civil procedure. However, contrary to this impression, it does not directly affect all of them. The greatest correlation can be seen in the case of the principle of openness, the principle of equality and the principle of immediacy. As the conclusion the author indicates that digital transformation allows for a more complete implementation of procedural principles and it supports the realisation of those rules.
