Abstract

MELO, Letícia. Legal nature of the blockchain: An atypical evidence. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2019, n.46, pp.101-116.  Epub Oct 01, 2019. ISSN 1886-5887.

The present study aims to demonstrate the relevance, pertinence, urgency and necessity of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), specifically Blockchain, as evidence in civil procedural law. As the right to produce evidence is a constitutional guarantee, it will be demonstrated the inevitability of admission of this type of evidence in law. Consequently, due to the lack of explicit legislative provision on the admissibility of this technology in the evidentiary law, Barbosa Moreira's studies on atypical evidence will be taken as a basis to verify a possible adequacy of this evidence to this classification.

Keywords : admissibility of evidence; blockchain; means of evidence.
