We are seeking feedback on the draft Statutory and Evidentiary Requirements for E-Dealing Standard.
The current Certification of Electronic Instruments (Statutory Requirements and Retention of Evidence) Standard issued in 2018 set standards for lawyers and conveyancers on the statutory requirements that must be complied with and the evidence that must be retained when certifying property transactions for registration under the Land Transfer Act 2017.
The standard has been reviewed to update these requirements. Along with the change to the name of the standard, the proposed changes add to, remove and update the statutory requirements, and regulatory guidance has been removed from the evidentiary requirements as this is best dealt with in the regulatory guideline and/or web commentary.
