The authority of electronic evidence in administrative court cases

Abstract

Technology and the modern communications revolution have produced some phenomena that were not previously common, and current legislation has failed to encompass these new phenomena on both the legal and administrative levels, in addition to the fact that the spread of automation and electronic governance in government institutions has exacerbated this issue, so a problem has emerged for us in the legal center. For the outputs of these systems and electronic programs, which are called electronic extracts, for which there was no legislation or system governing them before the year (2012), except for a few scattered among the texts of some legislation, and there is no known litigation mechanism that decides on lawsuits related to them, neither in the administrative judiciary courts nor In other ordinary courts. However, after the legislation of the Electronic Signature and Electronic Transactions Law No. (78) of 2012, electronic extracts have become a tangible case with a legal and legal framework that both public administration and the private sector deal with, and the evidence derived from them is authoritative before the courts.
