🇬🇧 Abstract (English)
The advancement and growing use of new technology for daily and legal purposes pose significant challenges to traditional concepts of civil procedural law, especially regarding the taking and presenting of evidence. This paper examines the impact of digitalisation and electronic communication on evidentiary procedures in Croatian civil litigation law, with a particular focus on documents as evidence, electronic registrations in land records, and the legitimacy of electronic documents. The existing legal framework is comprehensively analysed, and de lege ferenda recommendations are presented to guarantee legal certainty and efficiency in evidentiary procedures. The increasing reliance on electronic documents and the lack of physical originals have increased the possibility of litigation, where the key role will be the proper distribution of the burden of proof and the possibility of a valid expert analysis. This article contributes to the discourse on essential modifications to the legal system in the digital era.
