IEA Section 47A — Opinion as to digital signature when relevant

Summary

When a court needs to decide whether a digital signature belongs to a specific person, the opinion of the Certifying Authority that issued that person’s Digital Signature Certificate can be considered as relevant information. This means the court may rely on what the Certifying Authority says about the digital signature.

Official Text
