First of all, the importance of receipt.
Receipt is an important document for both parties to the transaction, which is used to prove the occurrence of the transaction and the confirmation of the amount. In daily life and business activities, receipts play an irreplaceable role, such as being an important basis for reimbursement, exchange of goods and rights protection.
Second, the risk of receipt loss.
The loss of receipts may bring certain risks to individuals or enterprises. For example, when it is necessary to prove the transaction facts, the failure to provide a valid receipt may lead to the inability to enjoy the relevant rights and interests or suffer economic losses.
Third, the possibility of taking photos as alternative evidence.
In case the receipt is lost, the photos taken can be used as alternative evidence. Photos can record the basic information of the receipt, such as the two parties to the transaction, the transaction time, the transaction amount and so on. , thus proving the transaction facts to a certain extent.
However, it should be noted that the validity of photos taken as evidence may be affected by the following factors:
1. Clarity of photos: photos must be clear and accurately reflect the contents of the receipt.
2. Integrity of photos: photos should include all the contents of the receipt, and there can be no omission or occlusion.
3. Originality of the photo: The photo should be taken originally, without being tampered with or edited.
IV. Legal basis and specific effect of the judgment
In China's legal system, the validity of photos as evidence needs to be judged according to specific circumstances and legal provisions. Generally speaking, if the photos can prove the transaction facts and meet the basic requirements of evidence, the court can adopt them. But whether to adopt it or not needs to be combined with the actual situation of the case and the judge's judgment.
To sum up:
When the receipt is lost but the photo is taken, the photo can be used as substitute evidence, but the specific effect needs to be judged according to the specific situation and legal provisions. In daily life and business activities, it is recommended to keep the receipt properly so as not to bring unnecessary risks to individuals or enterprises.
