حجية البريد الإلكتروني في الإثبات المدني: دراسة تحليلية مقارنة

Abstract EN

After the traditional proofs have become unable to keep pace with the developments that occurred in the field of electronic transactions, the bonds and documents sent by e-mail are considered among the acceptable proofs as a response to the technological developments, especially in the scope of electronic commercial transactions, In fact, E-mail has become one of the most technical means nowadays.

It is widely used around the world for communication and correspondence, due to the advantages it has such as storage capacity, which provides its customers with the service of storing a large part of their data.

However, as these electronic statements and documents do not have a paper copy, here comes to mind the question with regard to the extent of their authenticity in proof and whether they have the same evidentiary power as paper documents, specifically after the increase in problems arising from electronic communications in case of any breach of obligations between the two parties.

Therefore, the legislators of the majority of countries call on to regulate this issue by legalizing it as a civil proof.
