Electronic Transactions Act 2010 s 16H

s 16H Transferable documents or instruments

16H.—(1) Where a rule of law requires a transferable document or instrument, that requirement is met by an electronic record if —(a) the electronic record contains the information that would be required to be contained in the transferable document or instrument; and (b) a reliable method is used —(i) to identify that electronic record as the authoritative electronic record constituting the electronic transferable record; (ii) to render that electronic record capable of being subject to control from its creation until it ceases to have any effect or validity; and (iii) to retain the integrity of that electronic record.[5/2021] (2) For the purposes of subsection (1)(b)(iii), the criterion for assessing integrity is whether information contained in the electronic record, including any authorised change that arises from its creation until it ceases to have any effect or validity, has remained complete and unaltered apart from any change that arises in the normal course of communication, storage or display.[5/2021]
