Description
CML Seminar Series: The UK Electronic Trade Documents Bill: How does it compare with recent amendments to the Singapore Electronic Transactions Act?
ABOUT THE EVENT
This seminar will analyse the provisions of the UK’s Electronic Trade Documents Bill, currently making its way through Parliament, commenting on how it compares with recent amendments to Singapore’s Electronic Transactions Act. It will focus on key concepts underpinning the provisions, such as integrity, controllability and reliability, and will consider how these concepts are intended to work in practice. It concludes that the two pieces of legislation are closely aligned and minor differences of approach can be explained by reference to the particular challenges of integrating these developments into the legal ecosystem of the UK.
