No contract, no chat record, can I sue?

There is no contract, and there is a chat record to sue.

Chat records belong to electronic data evidence. As long as the evidence can reflect the facts of the case, it can be used as effective evidence to prove the facts of the case, and the parties can directly file a lawsuit based on the evidence.

Electronic data includes the following information and electronic documents:

1, web pages, blogs, Weibo and other online platforms;

2. Communication information of network application services such as short messages, e-mails, instant messaging and communication groups;

3. User registration information, identity authentication information, electronic transaction records, communication records, login logs and other information;

4, files, pictures, audio, video, digital certificates, computer programs and other electronic files;

5. Other information stored, processed and transmitted in digital form that can prove the facts of the case.

To sum up, there is a chat record without a contract to sue. But the content of the chat record should be clear, specific and clear. The prosecution needs to submit the complaint and evidence to the court, as well as the subject information of both parties.
