It now makes provision for electronic conveyancing, being updated to allow electronic documents to have the equivalent status and standards of validity and authenticity as paper. Publishing in the Greens Annotated Acts series, this work provides authoritative commentary on the Act as it stands today, stating its full implications for those working within the Scottish legal system.
