I am going to court - can I use digital documents as evidence?

In an increasingly digital world, most of our contracts, conversations and communication are happening online. When you agree to a contract, you might use an e-signature. Rather than discussing details with your supplier in formal letters, you will probably email them. Consumers commonly order goods and services through online platforms. Due to COVID-19, we are now even witnessing official legal documents over video calls.

With our way of doing business going digital, what happens if you get into a dispute and need to produce these digital communications and documents as evidence? During the discovery process of a commercial dispute, you must provide all relevant documents to the other side. This will include any digital documents.
