Am I missing something?

So, finalising one-off fixed-job contract with Client 3 and they send me a contract to sign. So I scan the last page (the only page needing a sig) with my sig duly signed and send it to them.
Admin person comes back and says we need the full document.
So I say why don't you print off the other pages and attach my sig page to it.
No, she says, you must scan the full document.
WTF?
Is there some legal thing that says when they print off my scanned pages its more legit than when they print off their original?
Or is it a Labour educashun at work?

I would. Just because you signed the last page, they could swap the entire contract over, scan it and attach your sig. How do you think Suity landed up as a bonded sex slave in a Dubai Kings harem last year?

Yes, but when they print off my scanned pages, there's nothing on the pages to say I agreed to them.
They're essentially indistinguishable from the original, no?
They didn't insist I signed/initialled every page. Anyway that's what I'll do next time.:rolleyes:

Why didn't you just hand over the contract when the agent took you out for dinner to celebrate???
