Check your Email Signatures! 30 March 2020

IN BRIEF:

  • The High Court decides that an email footer can be a ‘signature’ creating a binding contract for sale of land.
  • Its decision coincides with a Law Commission report recognising the legal effect of electronic execution of documents.
  • The test is whether the ‘signature’ was inserted with the intention of authenticating the document.
