THE LEGAL AUTHORITY OF EVIDENCE IN ELECTRONIC CONTRACTS

Main Article Content

NEDJER LOUIZA

Abstract

Dealing with electronic contracts leads to saving time and effort, encouraging investment, and driving the economy forward. This is achieved through the use of electronic writing and signatures, as they have become instant forms of documentation, unlike traditional writing and signatures, which are recorded on paper. Thus, are the rules of electronic contract evidence an extension of the rules of evidence in traditional contracts? And are its rules of proof sufficiently complete in Algerian civil law? This is what we will attempt to answer in this research.
