PART 2

GENERAL PRINCIPLES

3        Legal recognition

Information shall not be denied legal effect, validity or enforceability, solely on the grounds that it is in electronic form.

4        Formation of contract

(1)     In the formation of a contract, unless the parties have otherwise agreed, the offer and the acceptance of the offer may be expressed by means of an electronic communication.

(2)     Paragraph (1) does not apply where the law expressly or impliedly otherwise provides.

5        Time of dispatch of electronic communications

Unless otherwise agreed between the originator of the electronic communication and its addressee, the dispatch of an electronic communication occurs when it enters an information system outside the control of its originator or a person dispatching the electronic communication on behalf of its originator.

6        Time of receipt of electronic communications

Unless otherwise agreed between the originator of the electronic communication and its addressee, the time of receipt of an electronic communication is –

(a)     if its addressee has designated an information system to receive the electronic communication, when it enters that information system; and

(b)     in any other case, when it is retrieved by the addressee.

7        Place of dispatch and receipt of electronic communications

(1)     Unless otherwise agreed between the originator of the electronic communication and its addressee, an electronic communication is to be taken –

(a)     to have been dispatched at the place where its originator has the originator’s place of business; and

(b)     to have been received at the place where its addressee has the addressee’s place of business.

(2)     For the purposes of applying paragraph (1) to an electronic communication –

(a)     if its originator or addressee has more than one place of business, and one of those places has a closer relationship to the underlying transaction, it is to be assumed that that place of business is the originator’s or addressee’s only place of business;

(b)     if its originator or addressee has more than one place of business, but paragraph (a) does not apply, it is to be assumed that the originator’s or addressee’s principal place of business is the originator’s or addressee’s only place of business; and

(c)     if its originator or addressee does not have a place of business, it is to be assumed that the originator’s or addressee’s place of business is –

(i)      the place where the originator or addressee ordinarily resides, or

(ii)      in the case of a company, its registered or similar address.

8        Attribution of electronic communications

(1)     An electronic communication is that of its originator if it was dispatched –

(a)     by its originator;

(b)     by a person who had the authority to act on behalf of its originator in respect of the communication; or

(c)     by an information system programmed by or on behalf of its originator to operate automatically.

(2)     An addressee of an electronic communication may assume that a particular person was its originator and may act on that assumption if –

(a)     the addressee properly applied a procedure previously agreed with that person to ascertain whether the communication was from that person and the procedure indicated that it was; or

(b)     the communication as received by the addressee was the result of the action of a person whose relationship with the particular person or the person’s agent enabled the person to gain access to a method used by the particular person to identify the person as the originator of electronic communications.

(3)     Paragraph (2) does not apply –

(a)     from the time when the addressee –

(i)      receives notice from the person assumed to be the originator of the electronic communication that the person was not its originator, and

(ii)      has had a reasonable time to act on that information;

(b)     in the case of paragraph (2)(b), at any time when the addressee knew or ought to have known had the person exercised reasonable care or used an agreed procedure that the person assumed to be the originator of the electronic communication was not its originator; or

(c)     if in the circumstances it would be unconscionable for the addressee to regard the person assumed to be the originator of the electronic communication to be its originator and to act on that assumption.

(4)     Where paragraph (1) or (2) applies the addressee is entitled to assume that the electronic communication received was what its originator intended to dispatch, and to act on that assumption.

(5)     Paragraph (4) does not apply if the addressee knew or ought to have known had the addressee exercised reasonable care or used an agreed procedure that the transmission of the electronic communication resulted in the communication as received being different from the communication as dispatched.

(6)     An addressee is entitled to assume that each electronic communication the addressee receives is a separate communication unless the addressee knew or could have known had he or she exercised reasonable care or used an agreed procedure that an electronic communication the addressee has received is a duplicate of one already received.

(7)     Nothing in this Article affects the law of agency or the law on the formation of contracts.

9        Admissibility in evidence of information in electronic form

(1)     In legal proceedings nothing in the application of the rules of evidence shall be taken to apply so as to deny the admissibility into evidence of information that is in electronic form –

(a)     solely on the grounds that it is in electronic form; or

(b)     if it is the best evidence that the person adducing it could reasonably be expected to obtain, solely on the grounds that it is not in its original form or that it is not an original.

(2)     Evidence in electronic form shall be given due evidential weight by the court.

(3)     When assessing the evidential value of information in electronic form the court may have regard to any relevant information or circumstances including –

(a)     the manner in which the information was generated and stored;

(b)     the reliability of the manner in which its integrity was maintained; and

(c)     the manner in which its originator was identified or the information was signed or otherwise accredited or authenticated.

9A     Validity of electronic signatures[5]
