Statute overview

About this statute

This provision says the law governs evidence and how it is produced. This article defines many terms used in the law, including electronic data, electronic evidence, documents, signatures, secure electronic signatures, certificates, and the competent organ. This article says the law applies to evidence presented in court and may also apply to other dispute-settling institutions, subject to specific laws. The claimant must prove the claim, the respondent provides arguments for the defence, and a judge or adjudicator may order evidence to be produced. If a party refuses to produce evidence without valid reasons, the case may be lost. A third party who refuses may be summoned to explain the refusal and may be fined until the evidence is produced.
