The theme is written contract and not what email can create!

Where is the written contract?

The parties exchanged a series of emails where they agreed a series of amendments to a standard-form document. The language used was far from formal legalese and it even included text speak. At the end of the negotiations, one of the parties asked the other to provide a full and complete signed agreement incorporating all the key terms. In fact, this document was never drafted (never mind signed), but the court confirmed that the parties intended to be bound by the terms which they informally negotiated and agreed in the emails. The court went further and said that if a person puts his name on an email to indicate that it comes with his authority and he takes responsibility for its contents, it will be deemed to be a signature for the purpose of section 4 of the Statute of Frauds 1677. This is the case even where only the first name, initials or perhaps even a nickname is used.
