There are some records that we create which require a signature to athenticate them. We have mobile workers, working out in the field using tablet PCs to make notes of meetings etc. which become records. They sign the document on the tablet with the stylus pen. The question I have is, would the document's evidential weight be as good as any other electronically held document? I'm really thinking about the questionability of the signature here and that if the document has been kept adequately secure, the signature would be as good as any pen and ink signature, or am I mistaken? Has anyone any experience of submission of documents created in this way being used in court proceedings?
