The problem is more perceived than real. I was involved in a case
several years ago where the whole of the evidence was presented
electronically - judge, barristers witnesses etc. all working from
laptops.

I don't think we have had to use any scans in a court case yet although
they may have been excepted in an industrial tribunal (not sure). I find
it interesting that we all seem to have problems with authenticity and
scanned documents, yet have no problem with printed electronic
documents. Both have changed formats and both could be subject to
alteration.

Out of interest, those of you who have destroyed all the hard copies,
have you had to use them in a court case yet? That is the electronic
copy of the original.
