Book Reports · Digital Evidence and Electronic Signature Law Review · 2023
After a high-level introductory chapter, in which the author sets the scene in the context of the rise of the internet (although evidence in electronic form was reaching the courts in the 1960s, for which see p 81), and sets out the content of each chapter, the author provides a useful and detailed resume of the position regarding electronic evidence in the context of UNCITRAL and the European Union in chapter 2. Although neither UNCITRAL nor the European Union has produced a specific text on electronic evidence to date, both organizations have produced a significant number of provisions that addresses some issues specifically (e.g., electronic signatures; admission of evidence in electronic form) that help to ensure evidence in electronic form is not considered to be inferior to evidence in any other form.
