Dear all, I've had a lot of requests for any outcomes from my request for information on whether any case law has occurred re the legal admissibility or otherwise of scanned documents. It appears that there has been none in the UK to date - leading me to assume that in all probability scanned material is being accepted, possibly without question... In Spain, the RD 1946/2003 published on BOE 29/11/03 authorises and gives legal value to scanned invoices. For the UK I was provided with this useful article: http://www.infoconomy.com/pages/M-iD/group103353.adp ...and the author of BIP 0008 on behalf of BSI has advised that when asked for advice on this subject he quotes advice from a number of sources that BIP 0008 is recommended as good practice - for example in the Section 46 FOI Code of Practice, by TNA and by the Inland Revenue. Thanks to everyone who responded.
