Oways Kinsara, Revising the Saudi Electronic Transactions Law on E-Signatures
Abstract
Acknowledging the ever-increasing significance of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in
the global e-commerce market, this article critically examines the e-signature regime
of the 2007 Saudi Electronic Transactions Law and its implementing regulation. In
doing so, it considers the evolution of the European regime on e-signatures, from
Directive 1999/93/EC to Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 (the eIDAS Regulation). The
article primarily concludes that the Saudi legislature's approach to e-signatures has
been overly restrictive and calls for different, permissive and careful consideration.

documents by the Post Office, where required to ensure fairness at trial; the unethical
conduct by the board and management of the Post Office; failure by government - the

Office's lawyers.
