A partir del 1 de enero de 2021, el Reino Unido dejará de ser Estado miembro de la UE. No obstante, en el ámbito de la justicia civil, los procesos y procedimientos pendientes que se hayan iniciado antes del final del período transitorio proseguirán con arreglo a la legislación de la UE. Hasta finales de 2024, el Reino Unido seguirá estando en las opciones de selección de los formularios dinámicos online a efectos de esos procesos y procedimientos. Una excepción a esta norma la constituyen los formularios de documentos públicos, en cuyas opciones de selección no deberá estar el Reino Unido.
