In the Civil Procedure the acts, agreements, records, business correspondence, other documents and materials, including evidence obtained by electronic and other communications and other means of confirming the authenticity of documents containing data on facts significant for the case are considered written documents.
Written documents are presented in the original or in the form of an appropriately certified copy. If only part of the document concerns the tried case, an appropriately certified extract is presented.
Original documents are presented in those cases when the facts of the case, in accordance with laws and other legal acts, can be established only by such documents, and when necessary, by the court’s demand.
