Course Description:
The European Union has a long history of investing in, encouraging, and developing e-commerce. During the past 20 years, the EU has established an elaborate and to a certain extent, coherent regulatory framework for the e-commerce sector. This course gives insight into the main European legal framework regarding e-commerce. We will discuss the main legal issues, such as the liability of intermediary service providers, electronic contracting, electronic identification, and online dispute resolution. The legal rules will be critically assessed from a theoretical and practical point of view. Regarding the theoretical approach, the critical assessments in legal literature are taken as a point of departure. A critical assessment from a practical point of view can be achieved by applying the rules to cases and identifying possible bottlenecks.
