Presumption as to Electronic Signature Certificates.

What this section does

The Court shall presume, unless the contrary is proved, that the information listed in an Electronic Signature Certificate is correct, provided the certificate was accepted by the subscriber. However, this presumption does not extend to subscriber information that has not been verified.

The rule in one line

Information in an accepted Electronic Signature Certificate is presumed correct, except unverified subscriber information.

When it applies

• A party produces an Electronic Signature Certificate accepted by the subscriber — the court presumes the certificate details are correct without further proof.
• Subscriber information in the certificate that was not verified by the certifying authority is not covered by this presumption.
