The role and function of the e-signature, time stamp, and e-evidence in the context of Turkish commercial law

Abstract

One of the aims of the Turkish Commercial Code (TCC) is to enable digital companies to promote digital transformation. To achieve this aim, it has brought many novelties to Turkish Law. This paper explains the roles and functions of the e-signature, time stamp and e-evidence in the context of the TCC, and concludes that although the TCC promotes digital companies, further changes to the legal framework are necessary to keep up with the technological advancements.
