Abstract:
The Qatari legislature intervened in 2010 to provide that electronic documents have equal legal status to written documents. This new legislation has given electronic transactions the necessary importance and has strengthened the confidence of users of the electronic tools in transaction. It has duly laid down specific sanctions in cases of violation. The adopted law is envisaged to be one useful document that will help lawyers in their future.
