Faculty of Law student Dave Ferguson worked at the Law Students’ Legal Advice Program (LSLAP) this past summer on a case that involved the status of electronic signatures in oaths used as evidence in court. He challenged the validity of the charging document on the grounds that the time stamps on the electronic signatures showed that the proper oath-swearing procedure had not been followed. The trial judge at the B.C. Provincial Court agreed with him and said the time discrepancy went to the very essence of proof of the oath itself.
