Description

Electronic commerce is now an accepted way of conducting business. In a relatively short period of time commerce via the World Wide Web and other online platforms has boomed, and a new field of legal theory and practice is now recognisable. This course offers the student a comprehensive overview of the legal and regulatory structure of electronic commerce, including: current legislative and self regulatory responses to electronic commerce, commentary on recent case law; plus an analysis of proposed law reform. The course covers electronic commerce jurisdiction, online contract formation, electronic authentication, online payment systems and transactions, online dispute resolution, security and the determination of liability for unauthorised transactions.
