Paragraph 4 Equivalent treatment of electronic documentsF1

An electronic document authenticated in accordance with paragraph 3(2) is to be regarded for the purposes of any statutory provision as having the same effect as if the electronic document were a deed or a written document.

Where a person executes an electronic document in more than one capacity, authentication of that document by that person in accordance with this Act shall be sufficient to bind that person in all such capacities, unless a contrary intention appears from the document.
