Kai kurie elektroninių įrodymų panaudojimo civiliniame procese aspektai

Abstract

New technologies empowered us not only to communicate faster and better, but also to create new business branches. Every day millions of digital messages and documents are sent through the global network or telecommunication systems. Some business processes, service provisioning and conclusion of contracts can be accomplished and all evidence can by accessed only in electronic environment (in cyberspace). When some facts or events can be evidentially fulfilled by electronic information only it is important to ensure acceptability of such information in legal procedures. Everyone wants to be sure that in the case when some disputes regarding his interest violation arise, he would be able to defend himself using electronic data or electronic documents, made for or during the relationships with other parties. Unfortunately the litigation of these processes is not so clear as it should be. Internet as a global communication and information environment has very many problems regarding its internationality, anonymity and insecurity. The information can be accessed from everywhere and can be displayed everywhere. Thus we must have the possibility to use this information in the court to prove what has happened or should have happened.
It is clear that our country eventually will begin to use electronic evidences very widely because the computerization processes are very fast. The position of EU and Lithuanian Government on implementation of electronic communications like e-government, electronic studies, medicine and other forms of electronic relationships provide background for treating electronic evidences as equal to common evidences.
