Part 5 of the Electronic Transactions Act (§43) deals with Intermediaries and Internet Service Providers. The provision is basic and employs a ‘mere conduit’ approach. There is no affirmation of a non-requirement to monitor transmissions, and there is no elaboration on the procedure to be followed when knowledge of potential liability arises. §43 does however allude to procedures required by Regulations, but no such Regulations are known to have yet been passed.
