According to the provisions of the Civil Procedure Law, the parties may submit documentary evidence, physical evidence, witness testimony, expert conclusion and other evidence. Among them, the recording as documentary evidence can be submitted as evidence. However, if the recording involves sensitive information such as privacy, attention should be paid to protecting the privacy of the parties.
Audio recordings can also be used as evidence in criminal proceedings. However, recording as evidence needs to meet certain conditions, such as authenticity, integrity and legality of recording. If the recording is obtained illegally, or the recording involves sensitive information such as privacy and trade secrets, the court may exclude evidence.
In addition, it should be noted that the effectiveness of recording as evidence needs to be evaluated by the court. The court will comprehensively evaluate the authenticity, integrity and legality of the recording to determine whether the recorded evidence is probative.
In short, the recording can be used as legal evidence, but attention should be paid to protecting the privacy of the parties and the authenticity, integrity and legality of the recording. If you need to use the recording as evidence, it is recommended to consult a professional lawyer and evaluate the handling according to the specific situation.
