Abstract

John D. Gregory revisits and criticizes the statutory requirement that the validity of an electronic signature depends on its being as reliable as appropriate in the circumstances, because such a requirement unfairly discriminates against electronic signatures, and argues that the law should not impose a variable standard of prudence.

Index words: Electronic signature; UNCITRAL Model Law; Canada; reliability.
