What is evidence preservation?
Evidence preservation must meet the following conditions: (I) if evidence is not collected in a timely manner or fixed, it may be natural loss, man-made destruction, or it will be hard to obtain it in the future. (Ii) It must be applied by the claimant or by the people's court on its own. Under normal circumstances, the claimant shall apply for evidence preservation. If the people's court deems it necessary, it may take the initiative to preserve the evidence without applying for a lawsuit.
The claimant (including the plaintiff, the defendant, the joint legal representative, the third party, the legal representative, and the legal representative) must submit an evidence preservation application at the same time or after the lawsuit. The application shall state the following items: ① The reason for applying for evidence preservation; ② the name and location of the evidence applied for preservation; ③ the facts of the case that the evidence can prove. If the parties need to preserve evidence before the lawsuit, they can apply to the notarization authority for the notarization authority to take relevant evidence preservation measures. This is a business of the notarization authority.
