The article is devoted to the ethical issues that arise when presenting electronic evidence in a modern digital process. The principle of good faith in protecting a violated right obliges the plaintiff to act honestly towards the court, openly stating his legal arguments, all known circumstances of the case and providing genuine evidence, thereby actively contributing to the issuance of a legal and reasoned court decision. The relevance of the study lies in the urgent need to identify the reasons that provoke participants in civil legal relations to commit unfair actions when presenting electronic evidence to judicial authorities. These actions are often characterized by a cynical, dishonest, calculatedly false and deliberately deceptive nature. Conclusions: in order for digital evidence to be recognized in a trial, it is extremely important to know and strictly follow the procedures for its proper recording (including ethical aspects), extraction and presentation to the court. This article highlights these key points.
