Electronic evidence expertise becomes relevant for court opinions, while evidentiary terminology shifts from digital to electronic signatures.

Section 52 replaces references to digital signatures and Digital Signature Certificates with electronic signatures and Electronic Signature Certificates across specified evidentiary provisions. It also inserts section 45A, under which the opinion of an Examiner of Electronic Evidence is a relevant fact when a court considers information transmitted or stored in a computer resource or other electronic or digital form. The Examiner is treated as an expert for this evidentiary purpose.
