The approach to electronic evidence as regulated by procedural law means of proof in electronic form (written, material evidence, audio and video recordings), and not individual types of evidence, is substantiated. The absence of any specifics in the study of evidence in electronic form and the effect of the principle of immediacy is indicated. Attention is drawn to the need to apply this principle when working with electronic evidence. Examples explain in which cases securing electronic evidence is not required.
