A bailiff's inspection report (constat d'huissier) is an authentic act drawn up by a judicial bailiff, a sworn public officer, under Article 13 of Organic Law No. 2018-9 of 30 January 2018. The bailiff attends in person, describes a situation objectively at a given moment, without giving a technical or legal opinion, and attaches photographs to the report. The material facts the bailiff personally observed are conclusive before Tunisian courts until successfully challenged for forgery (inscription de faux); how those facts are interpreted remains open to argument before the judge. Reports are used for digital evidence (WhatsApp messages, SMS, web pages, social media), construction defects and abandoned sites, water damage and other losses relied on with insurers, and tenancy inventories. To be useful, the report must be drawn up quickly, before anything is changed or repaired.

A bailiff's inspection report is an authentic act drawn up by a sworn public officer (Article 13 of Organic Law No. 2018-9). The material facts the bailiff personally observed are conclusive until successfully challenged for forgery (inscription de faux) before Tunisian courts: that specific procedure is the only way to dispute them. The bailiff describes a situation objectively at a given moment, without giving a technical or legal opinion; how those facts are interpreted remains open to argument before the judge. That is why the report is among the strongest forms of evidence in court and with insurers, whether for water damage, a building site, a tenancy inventory or digital evidence. To be useful, the report should be drawn up quickly, before the situation changes; the office responds urgently in Greater Tunis. ### How are digital evidence, WhatsApp chats, and websites officially recorded? A pioneer in digital evidence in Tunisia since 2010, Maître Nabil Baffoun applies a strict technical protocol to electronic evidence. Depending on the medium, he verifies timestamps, IP addresses and data integrity through a cryptographic hash, then produces a certified transcription of the relevant content. Reports can cover WhatsApp and SMS messages (harassment, threats, admissions of debt, breach of negotiations), posts on Facebook or LinkedIn (defamation, trademark infringement, unfair competition), emails and online auction platforms. Captures are secured to preserve the integrity of the chain of evidence. It is best to act quickly, before the content is deleted or altered.
