Features: This book is divided into four parts: The first part starts with the role of documentary evidence, discusses the limitations of a document-centered approach, and then proposes guiding principles for the use of documentary evidence. The second part discusses the admissibility of documentary evidence, focusing on the verification of the formal truth of documents, the role of the original in ensuring the authenticity of documentary evidence, and two important aspects that affect the relevance of documentary evidence. The third part examines the probative force of documentary evidence, including the significance of material truth for the probative force of documentary evidence, the advantage of documentary evidence over witness testimony, the suppression of witness testimony on the probative force, and statutory rules related to the probative force of documentary evidence. The fourth part discusses some special issues involving documentary evidence. In the study of these contents, this paper primarily employs comparative law methods and historical methods, combined with the actual practice of contract litigation in China, aiming to explore rules and methods suitable for China's reality in the correct use of documentary evidence.
