Description: "This collection of essays by well known specialists in e-commerce and Internet law, drawn from both academe and practice, analyses recent crucial legislation which has created, for the first time, a legal regime governing European electronic commerce. The central focus is on the European Electronic Commerce Directive and it's implementation in the UK since August 2002. The E-Commerce Directive develops a distinctive European strategy for regulating and promoting on-line business and the information society. Both the European framework and the rules as implemented in the UK are examined and critiqued for how well they meet the needs of business and consumers."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
