Can a Call Recording be used as evidence in a court proceeding in the event of a dispute?
While the rules of evidence can vary significantly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, courts have allowed tape recordings of conversations, as well as computer-based records, into evidence for many years. In addition, UETA and E-SIGN both prohibit excluding a record or a signature from evidence solely because it is in electronic form. And this rule would, of course, apply to Call Recordings as well as other forms of electronic records. However, this rule does not relieve a party from establishing the necessary foundation for the admission of an electronic record.
