Courtcase: On a Web site, operated by an Italian
company, a new product has been advertised. The description provided fits
exactly the needs of a user, who is decided to purchase it. The product is
supplied by a company established in the United States. Simplicity itself
over the Internet! Unfortunately something goes wrong and a dispute arises.
It finally comes to " the Court” which is required to unpick the various
legal issues which are raised by all the parties and will be helped in that
by "the jury” sitting in the room.” This case study scenario of
an electronic commerce-related court case will highlight some of the legal
issues that are likely to arise to an unfortunate user: the legal validity
of an electronic transaction, protecting personal data, intellectual property
rights and a few more!
Legal Transactions Contract law and other legal aspects of global electronic commerce. Legal issues to take into account when SMEs want to do international electronic business.
