Description
Law relating to Electronic Contracts, 2e is especially designed for students pursuing the three-year or five-year LIB course in legal education institutes. It also caters to the students pursuing the one-year or two-year LLM course from various universities or institutes. With its comprehensive and exhaustive coverage of this emerging area of law, it will also serve as a useful reference for teachers and practising lawyers. Beginning with a brief overview of the impact of information technology on business and commerce, the general principles of contract law, and formation of electronic contracts, the book goes on to discuss their recognition and validity, related jurisdictional issues, consumer protection and standard form contracting in the electronic age, and public procurement including e-procurement. Thus, by addressing the entire gamut of legal issues that arise in the context of e-contracts, this book humbly attempts to advance the development of jurisprudence of contract law in India.
