it's an issue of perponderance of the evidence. If you have e-contracts, that's one step above verbal "he said/she said". If he has inked contracts that contradict you, that's one step higher on the evidence latter.
e-contracts aren't inadmissible, they're just weak against stronger arguments. In small claims courts, they don't necessarily expect a 200 page notarized legal document ... they get alot of cases where it's just some guys printed invoice, or scribbling on a napkin.
