Efetividade e valor probatório da prova eletrônica por meios digitais no processo civil

Abstract

The text provides an approach to the effectiveness and probative value of electronic evidence obtained by digital means in civil proceedings. We sought to understand the question: What are the challenges and practical implications of accepting this evidence by judges, given the need to guarantee the integrity, authenticity and security of digital information? The general objective is to analyze and discuss the means of proof in civil proceedings, discussing forms and purposes, focusing on electronic evidence and its application within the scope of the Brazilian procedural system. Initially, the law of evidence and its characteristics were discussed and the legal means of proof were examined, elucidating the concepts of documents and the validity requirements of electronic documents. The document and its elements were mentioned and the methods to guarantee its integrity and authenticity were analyzed, seeking to evaluate its effectiveness and probative value in the context of the evidence valuation system adopted by current procedural legislation. The results demonstrated that the effectiveness and reliability of electronic evidence in civil proceedings is not just part of a technical issue, but is also a reflection of the commitment to justice and truth. Continued developments in this field will serve as the basis for a more efficient and fair judicial system for all. The text was produced based on descriptive and bibliographical research
