<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Hi folks,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> I’ve been asked to have a look at a friend’s email policy – the preamble into it got me a little flustered and I’m just trying to work out the legitimacy of the
statement “</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Email carries the same legal status as a signed letter or memo.”
</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I’ve had a look in the telecommunications act and the postal act but cannot find it. I’m wondering if anyone out there knows if this statement is pure smoke or not.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Thanks</span></p>
