Sažetak
The paper initially deals with the existing legal framework regulating the use of ICT, and analyzes the procedure of passing regulations and its effect on the increasing volume of e-business. After this, the provisions of the law regulating electronic documents are considered. Provisions defining electronic documents are studied and the possibilities of using such documents in legal and other proceedings discussed. The author also speaks about the documentary attribute of electronic documents, and compares this with the other possible ways of electronic data storage. He deals with the legal power of electronic documents and the effect of ICT on the concept of source and copy when speaking of e-records. In the second part, the paper discusses the possibility of using electronic documents in the management of court cases and the use of e-communication between the parties involved in the dispute. Examples are given of the use of ICT for establishing integral systems for managing court documents in some West European countries. The information communication system being used in Croatian courts and the effect that the introduction of this system could have on legal suits is then discussed. The following section deals with existing legal regulations on the use of electronic communication and exchange of electronic records, more precisely the delivery system and form of electronic petitions, and it provides some possible solutions. In the last section, the paper discusses the possibilities of using electronic records, i.e. electronic documents and electronic files in the hearing of evidence. Some of the possible manifestations of this new approach are considered as well as the possibility of applying existing legal provisions.
