Richard Perrins is in error - serious error.
A digital copy of a TPO is NOT acceptable in Court. The Original,
signed and sealed order is the Legal Document and if this cannot be
produced in Court, then it does not exist.
I don't think Richard is in error at all. He originally wrote on Tue, 14
Dec 1999:
My Planning Department is looking at copying all of its TPO files
(orders & correspondence) to CD-ROM, freeing up much needed space and
facilitating networking of the information.
I understand that legally this is not an issue, provided the original
Order is retained should a prosecution ensue and so you can prove its
existence.
note the "provided the original Order is retained..."
