7 Electronic transmission of signatures and Court’s seal
If the Court issues a document in an electronic form that bears a facsimile of the Court’s seal, the sealed document as it appears electronically, or as it appears when printed on paper, is to be taken to have the same effect as if the Court’s seal had been lawfully applied to it by hand by an officer of the Court.
If the Court issues a document in an electronic form that bears either a typed signature or a facsimile signature of a District Court judge, registrar or other officer of the Court, the document as it appears electronically, or as it appears when printed on paper, is to be taken to have the same effect as if the signature had been lawfully applied to it by the judge, registrar or other officer of the Court.
