[WSG] Check boxes ticked (UK Law)

[Paul Collins]

Hello all   I recall reading somewhere a while back that UK law states you can't have a check box ticked on a form   EG - "untick this box if you don't want to receive emails" would be illegal for a UK site.    Could anyone tell me if I'm right or wrong and if possible give me some credible links to back this up? Thanks heaps, Paul Collins
