Choice of Law Applicable to E-Contract

This research clarifies the importance of the parties’ choice of the law applicable to an e-contract, basically because one of the parties cannot normally identify the other contracting party. The research tackles the international character of the e-contract; it also clarifies how parties may choose the law applicable to such a contract whether explicitly or implicitly, and whether they can choose the so-called lex mercatoria or lex electronica. Finally, the research addresses the protection available under the comparative law for consumers when participating in the choice of the law applicable to an e-contract.
