Brazil's Marco Civil, Civil Procedure Code and MP 2.200-2 recognize electronic records as valid evidence — provided authenticity is demonstrated, which is exactly what Lexato delivers.
Recognizes electronic records as a valid means of evidence and requires preservation of logs and metadata — the legal basis for treating a digital capture as a procedural document.
Admits any legitimate means of evidence and treats electronic documents as authentic when authorship and integrity are demonstrated — the condition that hash and timestamp satisfy.
Creates ICP-Brasil and grants presumption of veracity to electronic documents with certified digital signature or timestamp — removing the need to prove who signed and when.
Decisions across multiple court instances confirm that digital evidence is admitted in court when hash, blockchain and timestamp demonstrate authenticity and integrity.
STJ — established understanding: electronic evidence is admissible when authenticity and integrity are demonstrated in the case record, in line with art. 369 of the CPC.
TJ-SP — case law recognizes cryptographic hash and blockchain registration as sufficient to attest the integrity of digital evidence, under art. 422 of the CPC.
TJ-RJ — rulings accept the ICP-Brasil timestamp as a reliable means of proving the exact date and time of capture, with public faith under MP 2.200-2.
Each capture is ready to file, with hash, blockchain and timestamp already on record.
