Automation Error Theory (AET) By Praveen Dalal

In the Techno-Legal Framework that integrates Access to Justice (A2J), Justice for All, Legal Tech, and Online Dispute Resolution (ODR), Praveen Dalal, CEO of Sovereign P4LO, has introduced Automation Error Theory (AET) in his October 15, 2025, blog post. This framework draws from over two decades of techno-legal expertise, starting with the establishment of Perry4Law Organisation (P4LO) and PTLB in 2002 as virtual legal entities that integrated digital tools with legal processes in India. From the origins of ODR in India between 2002 and 2012, where P4LO/PTLB launched initiatives like ODR India in 2004 for techno-legal mediation of public complaints and cyber disputes—drawing on precedents like the Supreme Court’s 2003 approval of video conferencing in State of Maharashtra v. Dr. Praful B. Desai—to its evolution through 2013 to October 14, 2025, encompassing expansions such as the Techno Legal Centre of Excellence for Online Dispute Resolution in India (TLCEODRI) in 2012 and the Centre of Excellence for Protection of Human Rights in Cyberspace (CEPHRC) for addressing algorithmic biases in digital ecosystems, these efforts have advanced a holistic approach.
