The role of electronic evidence, namely electronic certificates as part of electronic documents in civil cases, is still questionable. The presence of the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, which is the legal umbrella for the validity of electronic certificates, apparently still raises pros and cons, even in the eyes of law enforcers, therefore more specific regulations are needed so that the validity and strength of proof of electronic certificates are no longer questioned in court proceedings, especially civil cases. Electronic certificate or also known as electronic land certificate as one of the products from The Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency which is currently being discussed will implement a media transfer process from analog to digital form. For this reason, it is necessary to prepare further regarding regulations to regulate how the later position and strength of evidence from electronic land certificates in Civil Procedure Law as an extension of evidence in civil cases. The method used in writing this scientific paper is legal research with the socio-legal method, namely by normatively examining the regulations regarding the Information dan Electronic Transaction of law in which have been used in civil proceedings in court and by looking at the existing norms and responses that are developing in the community. In the provisions of Article 6 of the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, an electronic document is considered valid if it is accessible, displayable, assured as to its integrity, and accountable. However, because it does not have perfect evidentiary power, it is necessary to accelerate the discussion of the Draft Civil Procedure Law, so that electronic land certificates as part of electronic documents have perfect evidentiary power in court, especially in civil cases.Keywords: Electronic Land Certificate, Evidence, Civil Procedure Law Intisari: Peran alat bukti elektronik yaitu sertipikat elektronik sebagai bagian dari dokumen elektronik dalam perkara perdata sampai saat ini masih dipertanyakan keabsahannya. Kehadiran UU ITE yang menjadi payung hukum dari keabsahan sertipikat elektronik rupanya masih menimbulkan pro dan kontra, bah­kan di mata penegak hukum, oleh karenanya dibutuhkan regulasi yang lebih spesifik agar keab­sahan dan kekuatan pembuktian dari sertipikat elektronik tidak lagi dipertanyakan dalam beracara di pengadilan khususnya perkara perdata. Sertipikat elektronik atau dapat juga disebut sertipikat tanah elektronik sebagai salah satu produk dari Kementerian Agraria dan Tata Ruang/ Badan Pertanahan Nasional (ATR/BPN) yang saat ini sedang diwacanakan akan diberlakukan atau akan dilaksanakan proses alih media dari bentuk analog ke bentuk digital. Untuk itu perlu dipersiapkan lebih lanjut menge­nai regulasi untuk mengatur bagaimana nantinya kedudukan dan kekuatan pembuktian dari sertipikat tanah elektronik dalam Hukum Acara Perdata sebagai perluasan alat bukti pada perkara perdata. Metode yang digunakan dalam penulisan karya ilmiah ini adalah penelitian hukum dengan metode sosio legal, yaitu dengan mengkaji secara yuridis normatif berbagai ketentuan perundang-undangan dan pengaturan mengenai dokumen elektronik yang selama ini dapat digunakan dalam beracara secara perdata di pengadilan serta dengan melihat norma dan respon yang ada dan berkem­bang di tengah masyarakat. Dalam ketentuan Pasal 6 UU ITE, suatu dokumen elektronik dianggap sah apabila dapat diakses, ditampilkan, dijamin keutuhannya, dan dapat dipertanggungjawabkan. Namun karena belum memiliki kekuatan pembuktian yang sempurna, maka perlu segera dipercepat pemba­hasan mengenai Rancangan Undang-Undang Hukum Acara Perdata, agar sertipikat tanah elektronik sebagai bagian dari dokumen elektronik memiliki kekuatan pembuktian yang sempurna di muka pengadilan khususnya perkara perdata.Kata Kunci: Sertipikat Tanah Elektronik, Pembuktian, Hukum Acara Perdata

The author explores the issue of participation of third parties not making independent claims regarding the subject matter of the dispute in the context of achieving procedural efficiency in civil proceedings. It is noted that the current rules of civil and arbitration procedural legislation concerning third parties that do not make independent claims regarding the subject matter of the dispute are imperfect and, on the one hand, they have some potential to ensure the true implementation of the principle of procedural economy, and, on the other hand, to enhance the effectiveness of civil proceedings and the scope of safeguards applied to secure judicial protection. Joint consideration and resolution of principal and recourse claims may be treated as a key and promising technique in this regard. The author, using various methodological techniques, conducts a critical analysis of the domestic doctrine and legislation of pre-revolutionary, Soviet and modern periods, and examines foreign experience on the subject at hand. The paper substantiates the conclusion about the possibility and expediency of joint consideration and resolution of the principal and recourse claims. It proposes to apply a mechanism for considering such claims jointly with due regard to the balance of interests of persons involved in the case. It is also noted that in a number of cases it is expedient to consider the principal and recourse claims in separate court proceedings. Summing up, the author expresses the opinion that the expansion of the judicial activity of the judicial activity should be permissible not only in the case of approval by the court of the settlement agreement, but also when the judicial activity results in making a court decision. In conclusion, it is noted that the mechanism of joint consideration and resolution of principal and recourse actions proposed by the author does not infringe the safeguards of civil procedural form and allows us to eliminate “defeat in rights” for the principal respondent (regredient).

Could there be a win-win situation for both pension funds and the Swiss forestry sector? On the one hand, developments in the forestry sector suggest that the Swiss forest presents a new lucrative investment opportunity. If this is so, then pension funds could be particularly interested, as the low correlation between Swiss forest and other classes of investment, and the long investment periods involved are ideal for pension fund portfolios. On the other hand, large investments made by pension funds could mean that existing problems in Swiss forestry, in connection with its fragmented nature, could be more rapidly solved, and the potential for rationalization in the wood value chain could be fully realized. This would in turn make investments in the forest even more profitable. This hypothesis was investigated through a comprehensive literature analysis, yield calculations for private forestry enterprises of over 50 ha made by the Swiss Federal Office for Statistics 2004–2008, and an interview with the investments director of a large Swiss pension fund. Despite the optimistic assumption that the greater efficiency gained by the investment of pension funds into the forestry sector could lead to costs lower by 50% and a 20% increase in profits, the hypothesis must be rejected, because a calculated annual return of only 0.82% is too low for pension funds. The conclusion is that the price for forest land is high, and forest owners are not only interested in the monetary value of holding forest. Other immaterial values influence prices. It is suggested that a greater emphasis on socioscientific studies concerning the link between the price of forest land and the motivation to buy and sell forest could lead to some important findings.

A significant leap in the development of information technology over the past twenty years has made the global legal community respond to new challenges that have come along with the progress in the digital environment. Together with the convenience of using electronic resources, society has developed a need for a simple and understandable legislative regulation of legal relations arising from the use of computer information technologies and various products of electronic digital activity in order to protect their interests potentially. The concept and types of electronic evidence in civil proceedings in different countries have different meanings. Meanwhile, the regulations of their procedural admissibility and applicability differ. The common thing is the tendency towards an increase in the use of electronic information carriers in court proceedings, increasing importance for establishing specific facts, and the decisive evidentiary role in making decisions by the court. India became one of the first countries to realize the growing level of implementation of Internet technologies, electronic digital storage media, and computer dominance in society and the state's daily life [1] (Artemyeva, Y.A. et al.). The consequence of this understanding was the timely development and implementation of the substantive and procedural bases in evidence law for practical, understandable, and convenient use of electronic evidence in civil proceedings. The article examines the types and procedural status of electronic evidence and analyzes the current legislation and law enforcement practice in the admissibility and application of electronic evidence in civil proceedings in India. The study identifies the existing system of electronic evidence in the legal field of India, the determination of the advantages and disadvantages in the gathering, presentation, research, and evaluation of electronic evidence by the court in civil proceedings, as well as the identification of the procedural order for their provision. The researchers have identified the following tasks to achieve the goals: • to define and research the legislation of India governing the concept, types and procedural order of applicability and admissibility of electronic evidence in civil proceedings in India; • to develop a particular procedural order for the effective use of the institution of electronic evidence in civil litigation in India; • to identify the current trends in the gathering, presentation, research, and evaluation of electronic evidence in India's courts, based on the established judicial practice study. The research methodology is based on general theoretical and scientific methods of cognition, including abstraction and specification, analysis and synthesis, modeling and comparison, and systemic, logical, and functional analyzes. The scientific novelty of the research consists of a comprehensive study of the instruments of legal regulation of the institution of electronic evidence in India's legal field, including regulatory legal acts and judicial precedents, and a consideration of the possibility of applying Indian approaches in the jurisdictions of other countries. The analysis of legislation and jurisprudence regarding electronic evidence in India's civil proceedings was carried out using the synergistic principle of object study, statistical-sequential analysis, and empirical research method. This study's results can be used in lawmaking to develop and improve regulations regarding the procedural status and use of electronic evidence in civil litigation in any country. The reference, citation, and use of this article's conclusions and materials are permissible when conducting lectures and seminars on civil procedure and private international law, research activities, law enforcement practice, and teaching.

Introduction: the article deals with the methodological problem of the meaning of the goal of civil law research. The author analyzes the dissertation abstracts from the point of view of goal setting, which were completed in different periods of the development of Russian civil law science, identifies the qualitative characteristics of the stages, and proves the connection of the achieved results with the researcher’s knowledge of the methodological methods of goal setting. Purpose: to show the value of goal setting in scientific research in general and in civil research in particular; to consider the relationship of goal setting with the achievement of specific scientific results on the examples of dissertations defended in the specialty 12.00.03; to justify the need to set as goals the fundamental problems associated with the identification of patterns of development of relations that are part of the subject of civil law regulation and the creation of effective mechanisms that mediate them. Methods: system-structural, system-functional, generalization, abstraction, analogy, logical, statistical, classification, legal modeling, comparative legal, forecasting, formal legal, historical. Results: civil methodology should take into account the importance of the goal in the organization of scientific work. Only a competent possession of goal setting skills can ultimately ensure the creation of scientifically-based mechanisms for effective impact of civil law norms on regulated social relations. Conclusions: 1) any science, including the science of civil law, is not only designed to study and describe existing problems, including legislative, doctrinal, and law enforcement. Research, in order to meet the criterion of scientific character, must attempt to identify the laws of development, both regulated relations and mechanisms that mediate them; 2) the significance of the goal in the development of science has been proven by outstanding philosophers. In addition, the very definition of science indicates that goal setting is one of its essential characteristics; 3) the analysis of the author’s abstracts of leading Russian tsivilists showed how the skilful setting of research goals helped to achieve them consistently, as well as to create a high-quality categorical apparatus of civil law science; 4) the analysis of modern dissertations showed that not all young researchers see the value of goal-setting and this methodological disadvantage is important for the author to eliminate.
