    How do you prove a verbal contract?

    How do you prove that a person who wrote threatening tweets was the person who's name is on the account.

    There are plenty of cases where email has been accepted within law.

    Perhaps you should qualify your misleading statements rather than spout some generic claptrap that you have no actual knowledge of.

    Those cases are usually prosecuted by the computer misuse act 1990.

    You can't give notice of surrender...
    And a tenant notifying his landlord of required by email would have notified him in writing using an email address that the landlord presumably provided as a mean of contact. So...

    Your right meant notice to request a surrender

    If that email was noted on the tenancy agreement. Correct

    No... There is question of notice, or tenancy agreement.
    An email exchange is the same as a letter exchange.

    Well I disagree. Unless u can confirm that email is deemed acceptable it is meaningless

    The only property the OP owns is the bridge he lives under and trolls over.

    I believe I clearly said 'email exchange' and 'receiver accepts notice'.
    If tenant sends his notice to quit by email and landlord replies along the lines of "received and accepted", then it does not matter if email service was agreed beforehand.
    Likewise if you discuss and agree something in an email exchange, then you have it in writing (obviously).

    Was it all the 'LOL'ing and calling other posters idiots and bragging in a very childlike manner about class and implied wealth? :rotfl:
