Video conferences are now being used routinely in place of face to face
meetings during the COVID-19 emergency. However, some have been
reluctant to do this due to the lack of explicit law allowing it
(although courts are using video conferences extensively, so would be
unlikely to rule them invalid).
To help clarify the issue the New South Wales Electronic Transactions
Amendment (COVID-19 Witnessing of Documents) Regulation 2020, provides
that witnessing of documents can be done by video link.
