数字证据的程序法定位——技术、经济视角的法律分析

Studies on the Digital Evidence

基于证据在程序中的重要地位以及证据与社会发展息息相关的紧密关联,要促进程序法在数字时代的发展,首先要研究的便是数字技术对包括民事、行政、刑事证据在内的程序证据制度的影响。使用"计算机证据"、"电子证据"概念并不能科学地归纳出这种证据的内涵,而"数字证据"概念则更符合其本质特征。在证据类型上,数字证据与书证、视听资料等已有证据类型颇不相同,是一种新的独立的证据类型,并且,在证据规则上,数字证据具有与其数字技术特性相应的新规则。

In order to accelerate the development of the procedural law, the effects of digital technology on the system of evidence should be studied. It is suggested that the concept of digital evidence be adopted instead of computer evidence or electronic evidence, digital evidence be considered as a new kind of evidence different from documentary evidence and audio-visual reference material and some special rules for digital evidence be provided.
