IEA Section 90A — Presumption as to electronic records five years old

Summary

If an electronic record is at least five years old and is presented from a storage location the court considers proper, the court may assume that the digital signature on that record was actually added by the person it claims to be from, or by someone that person authorised to sign for them.

Official Text

Where any electronic record, purporting or proved to be five years old, is produced from any custody which the Court in the particular case considers proper, the Court may presume that the digital signature which purports to be the digital signature of any particular person was so affixed by him or any person authorised by him in this behalf.
