Is the chat screenshot evidence? 2 Can the screenshot of WeChat chat record be used as evidence?

Today, WeChat has already become the most used communication software in life, and even become an important carrier of many legal relationships. So can the chat record of WeChat be valid evidence? The answer is yes.

However, in the specific litigation process, when the parties submit screenshots of WeChat chat records to the court as evidence, they often refuse to accept them because they cannot provide the original carrier and prove the identity of the other party. Recently, the Mawei District Court of Fuzhou tried a dispute over a sales contract, and the court refused to accept it because the parties could not provide the original carrier of WeChat chat records.

In May, 20021year, the person in charge of a commercial bank in Mawei District found that Ms. Wang had purchased fresh aquatic products from herself during the period from 20 17 to 20 18, and the payment for the goods was not paid in time, so she urged Ms. Wang. After repeated unsuccessful dunning, the firm sued Ms. Wang to Mawei District Court, demanding that Ms. Wang pay the money owed.

During the trial, in order to prove the actual existence of the contractual relationship between the two parties, the person in charge of the firm submitted screenshots of the original and defendant's WeChat chat records as evidence. However, Ms. Wang does not recognize the authenticity of WeChat chat records. The judge asked the person in charge of the firm to show the original WeChat chat record, but the person in charge said that due to the replacement of the mobile phone, the original record had been cleared and could not be provided.

Recently, the Mawei District Court made a judgment after the trial, because the firm could not confirm the authenticity of the WeChat chat record and thought that the WeChat chat record could not be accepted. Fortunately, the person in charge of the firm submitted the delivery list and receipt signed by Ms. Wang at that time, which can prove the amount of money owed by Ms. Wang. In the end, the court supported the litigation request of the firm and asked Ms. Wang to repay the remaining 50,000 yuan in time.

A person from Mawei District Court said that according to Article 469 of the Civil Code, the parties may conclude a contract in written form, orally or in other forms. Written form refers to contracts, letters, telegrams, telexes, faxes and other forms that can tangibly express the contents contained.

So how to make WeChat chat records effective litigation evidence?

According to this person, the WeChat chat record needs to be backed up. Before the trial, submit the WeChat personal information interface of both parties to the chat, including WeChat avatar, nickname, micro-signal, region and other information, which proves that the chat object is the party to the case.

It should be noted that the submission of WeChat chat records must be complete and uninterrupted, and you can't just intercept the parts that are beneficial to you or delete some chat records. The submitted chat records should be marked with specific dates and nicknames, in which pictures and documents should be printed with specific contents, voices should be converted into words, and videos should be saved with storage devices such as CDs.

In addition, the parties should log in to WeChat by using the device that saves the WeChat chat record, show the personal information interface of both parties to verify their identity, show the chat content to prove the authenticity of the evidence, and turn on the display of voice, video, pictures, transfer information and other contents. If the micro-signal of the chat partner has been modified and the chat content cannot lock the identity of the other party, you can apply to the court for an investigation order and investigate the real-name authentication information of WeChat users at Tenpay Payment Technology Co., Ltd., a third-party institution.
