I though that in England and Wales a faxed document has the same legal status as a photocopied document (i.e none), as it is not the original signed document. However, curiosity brought me to this article... http://www.qsweek.com/nav?page=qsweek.contentspage&fixture_page=5330229&resource=5330229&view_resource=5330229 Which basically says that under English Law that if it is received but not processed it is the person who received the document that is at fault.. Even more intriguing is the position with e-Mail discussed ...
