E-Bill goes to parliament

8 Mar 2002

The Electronic Communications and Transactions (ECT) Bill is being tabled in parliament and public comment closes on 20 April.

The ECT Bill will:

give legal recognition to e-mail signatures

provide consumer protection in e-commerce transactions

criminalise cybercrime

allow the Minister of Communications to take control of what it deems to be “critical databases” - this is controversial and likely to draw fire.
