Authentication of electronic evidence in business and commercial disputes before Vietnamese courts

This study examines the authentication of electronic evidence in the resolution of business and commercial disputes in Vietnam. Based on an analysis of the current legal framework, the study clarifies authentication requirements, the burden of proof, and methods for authenticating electronic evidence. The findings show that Vietnamese law has not yet established specific authentication criteria for cases in which the authenticity of electronic evidence is disputed. Accordingly, the article proposes several recommendations to promote consistent application of the law in judicial practice and ensure that electronic evidence is authenticated accurately and objectively.
