Implementation of information systems and technologies successfully solves the problem
of judicial protection being really affordable way to protect rights. But the practical
implementation of technologies is going faster than the corresponding relations receive their
theoretical substantiation and legal regulation, and the legal nature of electronic evidence
is currently causing controversy in the scientific community. The article explores theoretical
and practical issues of using electronic evidence in the activities of Courts – documents
and materials that do not exist in material form, but are files of various types. The legal
nature of electronic evidence and its difference from written and material evidence are
analyzed in the article. The problem of the reliability of electronic evidence, as well as the
practice of General Courts and State Arbitration Courts to establish the reliability of such
evidence is considered. A classification of electronic evidence is presented, depending on
the availability of free access to them by the Court and the participants in the process,
and certain types of electronic evidence are analyzed, including log-files and metadata as
evidence that can be used in Court to confirm other evidence.
Keywords: evidence; electronic evidence; reliability of evidence; modes of proof; e-justice.
