The Rise of Online Litigation Based on Time Proof Consensus Algorithms Challenges the Traditional Trial Model in the Framework of the Code of Civil Procedure

Abstract

The integration of modern information technology and civil litigation promotes the electronic civil litigation, online litigation as a kind of litigation behavior, promoting the development of traditional trial mode. This paper starts from analyzing the relationship and conflict between civil e-litigation and traditional civil litigation, and organizes the relationship between online trial mode and traditional court trial, and the relationship between civil online trial mode and traditional trial mode respectively. Based on the influencing factors of civil trial, the time proof consensus algorithm and data security transmission algorithm are respectively proposed to combine the network nature of online litigation and blockchain storage data information to optimize the online litigation electronic evidence storage. Summarizing the litigation efficiency of online trial and traditional trial under different control variables, from the point of view of the complexity of the case, the litigation efficiency of online trial mode for more complex cases is significantly higher than that of traditional trial mode. For non-complex cases, the efficiency increases but the difference is not significant. The online litigation mode is a part of the civil online trial mode and serves the traditional civil trial mode.
