THE PROBLEM OF LEGAL PROOF OF THE CONTRACT IN ELECTRONIC TRANSACTIONS.
Main Article Content
Abstract
Civil law scholars and jurists are concerned with two important issues in electronic transactions: electronic contracting and electronic proof. Electronic transactions are a reality in today's world and are developing rapidly, but they face a problem related to proof. They require means other than the traditional ones in order to be consistent with legal solutions. Electronic transactions do not require specific legislation, except for electronic proof. As for contracts, they are subject to the general rules of contract theory, which, according to some opinions, are sufficient to accommodate this modern means of contracting. As far as Algerian civil law is concerned, some amendments have been introduced, but these are limited to clarifying the legal validity of proof by electronic means.
