Due to the type of property rental and the fact that a meeting must take place at some point to pass keys, the use of remote signature may be limited in many cases. However, many are happy to have the agreement signed in advance (for example.B. Student rentals are often signed very early in the year for the month of September). (i) Writing: The Interpretation Act of 1978 defines “writing” as “typing, printing, lithograph, photography and other forms of representation or reproduction of words in visible form.” If the contract is displayed on a screen (including a desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone) in a way that allows a person to read their terms correctly, it is “written” at that time. Thus, in Golden Ocean Group Limited v. Salgaocar Mining Industries PVT Ltd and another [2012] EWCA Civ 265 (Golden Ocean), the Court of Appeal found that the exchange of a number of emails could lead to a written agreement within the meaning of fraud status 1677. (ii) Signature: the verification, whether or not it is a signature, is whether the mark that appears in a document has been inserted to give it its authenticity and with the intention of conferring its authenticity. Therefore, if the signatory inserts an electronic signature to the appropriate organization (for example. B next to the signature block of the party concerned) in a document intending to authenticate the document, a legal condition for the signature of this document is fulfilled. It does not matter how the signatory inserted the electronic signature into the document (for example.

B using any of the methods mentioned in paragraph 2 (a) (d) above), nor the form in which this signature was inserted (. B for example, a handwritten signature, generic handwriting, a typed font, etc.). Senior legal advisors pointed out that J Pereira Fernandes SA/Mehta [2006] EWHC 813 (Ch) is the authority, that the entry of a name into an email meets a legal requirement for the signing of a document (and this position has been confirmed in Green (Liquidator of Stealth Construction Ltd) against Ireland [2011] EWHC 1305 (Ch)) and Golden Ocean is entitled that an electronic signature has the same legal status as a Wet Ink signature, the key question is whether the purpose of the signature is the authentication of the document…. Prior to 1990, the law required that a third party (witness) be present when signing a lease. At the end of that period, it was no longer legally required to do so, unless the guaranteed short-term lease lasts more than three years. This is because it is considered an act if the duration is equal to or greater than 3 years.
