E-Bill goes to parliament

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.
