Question:

You are the information manager of an electronic mailing service, BadNews.ca. Your primary customers are collections agencies. BadNews.ca assists these agencies by locating debtors and delivering legal notices to them prior to the repossession of their assets. You were operating under the assumption that simply sending an email message would fulfill the written notice requirements set out in the provincial legislation that regulates the collection of debts. Recently, however, you discovered that the law requires such notices to not merely be sent but to actually be received. You have been asked to determine whether your current approach would succeed in provinces that have enacted electronic commerce legislation based on Canada's Uniform Electronic Commerce Act. Prepare a brief memo explaining the rules governing the sending and receiving of electronic messages. Make sure that your memo provides some advice indicating the best way to avoid disputes with intended recipients.
