Executing contracts during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Whilst the COVID-19 pandemic continues to significantly disrupt
every day life across the world, much business activity continues
(such as negotiating, agreeing and executing contracts for the
provision of goods and services to be delivered at a time when some
degree of normality has returned) - albeit in a largely remote
environment.
Traditionally, many contracts have been executed using "wet
ink" signatures (i.e. the contract is the document which has
on it the original penned signatures of the signatories), but this
may not be possible in a remote working environment. In addition,
there are added complications if a party's execution of a
contract requires two signatures (e.g. if the party is a
company).
