"While e-commerce law is steadily maturing, there are still a number of areas where there is no legislation specifically to deal with e-commerce and the pre-existing law, often common law, continues to apply." "Cases and legislation from the US and Singapore are also critically examined as a means of determining aspects of law within other jurisdictions which the UK might consider adopting in the future. In such a fast moving area of law as e-commerce, this text provides the student and practitioner alike with a reliable and informed examination of the law as it has developed to date."--Jacket.
