LAW868: Electronic Commerce and the Law |
This course examines the law underlying the use of the internet and electronic commerce. The cross border nature of the internet has opened up global markets for goods and services, meaning that the unique nature of such transactions calls for a framework to promote legal certainty. The unrestricted flow of electronic information through cyberspace has meant laws must by necessity not just be limited to national laws, rather the internationalisation of law is essential to deal with this new medium. Topics to be studied include jurisdictional analysis of business transactions, Australian and international approaches, on line consumer protection and internet gambling.
