Council of Europe Guidelines on electronic evidence in civil and administrative proceedings
Council of Europe Publishing has just published, bringing together in a single document, the Council of Europe Guidelines on electronic evidence in civil and administrative proceedings, adopted on 30 January 2019, and their explanatory memorandum.
These guidelines constitute the first international instrument in this field, designed to serve as a practical tool. They deal with oral evidence taken by a remote link; the use of electronic evidence; collection, seizure and transmission of evidence; relevance; reliability; storage and preservation; archiving; awareness-raising; the review of relevant technical standards; and training and education.
