Provides guidance on the management of electronic records that may be used as evidence in judicial or administrative proceedings, whether as a plaintiff, defendant, or witness. It will also be useful where suspect criminal activity is to be referred to appropriate authorities for investigation.
Scope
This handbook is aimed at board members, business management, Chief Information Officers, IT personnel (including contractors), regulators, auditors, investigators, legal professionals and the judiciary.
This handbook provides guidance relating to litigation in Australia. However, the processes and procedures are consistent with global industry best practice and will maximize the evidentiary weighting of electronic records in many other jurisdictions.
This handbook does not cover protective security, incident handling, administrative procedures, operational procedures and electronic evidence processing systems (e.g. DNA, fingerprints, etc.).
