Shouldn't emailed contracts be ok if the document says it is valid if countersigned?

I believe emailed contracts are accepted by the real estate board as of just over a year ago. This was one of the issues with using a tablet computer.

I was in a CREB course in November, and the instructor was saying it's still not "officially" legal.
Not sure to be honest, obviously it's done and accepted all the time, but if push came to shove in a courtroom I'm not sure if there'd be any issues. Instructors are sometimes wrong as well, maybe he missed the memo.

Thanks guys. Although it really doesn't matter what CREB or any other real estate board thinks. They don't make the law. I'll have to ask my lawyer the next time I see him.

Alternatively, I'd be interested in hearing from one of CPs resident lawyers. Would you expect a contract countersigned after having been emailed to be legally binding?
