E-discovery in the Philippines

Abstract

Although the Philippines does not have special or extensive rules on e-discovery, procedural rules adopted by the Supreme Court, particularly the Rules of Civil Procedure and the Rules on Electronic Evidence (“REE”), and statutes like the Electronic Commerce Act1 (“ECA” or the “Act”) provide a basic yet workable legal framework for the conduct of discovery processes in the country.
