The call for expert input on how computer evidence should be defined and what could fall into the scope of any changes to the law has been made. Distinctions may need to be drawn between general digital evidence like text messages or social media posts, and evidence specifically generated by a computer system or software.
Any changes to the presumption would not protect against instances where parties mislead a court on the accuracy of the evidence, as lying in court is already a separate crime. However, removing or changing this presumption could mean defendants are better equipped to interrogate computer evidence against them, putting more onus on the party supplying the digital evidence to ensure its accuracy.
