The current civil procedure legislation refers to information obtained from electronic sources of information as written evidence. At the same time, electronic evidence is not an independent means of proof. The purpose of this article is to study the possibility and necessity of allocating electronic evidence as independent means of proof. The traditional approach to understanding the electronic document is based on the participation of the person in the information interaction as the author of the document and its performer. At the same time, the electronic document is characterized by its (special) properties related to its creation, change, preservation. In addition, the authors draw attention to the existence of electronic documents that do not have a human-readable form but create, modify or terminate rights and obligations. The study also points to the possibility of self-participation of computer tools in information interaction. In the article, the authors propose to distinguish electronic evidence as an independent means of proof, and also justify the theoretical and practical necessity of this approach to the legal regulation of the procedure of proof in civil and arbitration proceedings (research, recording, evaluation of evidence from electronic sources).
