「你有權保持緘默，但你所說的都將成為呈堂證供!!!」最近小編的印度廠商又在吵鬧，雙方正在協商談判，但印度廠商不願意以公司名義簽署協議書….
#回不去的港劇
#印度不是東南亞是南亞
最近因為印度廠商不願意蓋章簽名協議書，業務主管就來找法務問，Email可否列為呈堂證供?依照印度證據法規定，電子郵件可列為法庭上的證據。不論是email、CD或是DVD都可以是電磁紀錄的證據。
Section 17 of the Evidence Act which has been amended to include a statement in oral, documentary or electronic form which suggests an inference to any fact at issue or of relevance.
According to the Section 65B of Indian Evidence Act,
Admissibility of electronic records:
(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, any information contained in an electronic record which is printed on a paper,stored, recorded or copied in optical or magnetic media produced by a computer (hereinafter referred to as the computer output) shall be deemed to be also a document, if the conditions mentioned in this section are satisfied in relation to the information and computer in question and shall be admissible in any proceedings, without further proof or production of the original, as evidence of any contents of the original or of any fact stated therein of which direct evidence would be admissible.
但是!!!
依據該法65B(4) 條的規定，該條款規定，如果電子證據要用於任何司法程序，則必須出示證明電子記錄的證書，並提供有關電子證據的詳細信息。參與製作電子記錄的設備。該證書必須由擔任與相關設備操作相關的負責官方職位的人員簽署，或由管理相關活動的人員簽署。該簽名應作為證書真實性的證據。
加上，跨國間的訴訟文件當然要公證認證是跑不掉的。
結論就是叫業務去好好談，電子郵件寫清楚，誰該付錢誰該還錢都要寫清楚，法務出面太貴了!
(法律就是條不經濟的不歸路~~~)
