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.

unwillingness and failure of judges to order appropriate and necessary disclosure of
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
Post Office's owner, and questionable litigation strategies adopted by the Post
Office's lawyers.
