About this title

Review

"I thought it would be good. I was wrong - it is great ... mandatory reading for any new or aspiring IT lawyer ... a book that is both familiar and brand new ... It is extraordinary value for money.." -- Robert Carolina,
European Business Law Review, September 2001

Synopsis

As businesses become increasingly dependent on computers, the law surrounding their supply and use is no longer a matter simply for the specialist lawyer, but for all lawyers and potential users. This book introduces the reader to the principles of law which govern dealings in, and the use of, computer technology. It proposes solutions to common problems, with chapters specially commissioned from authors who are experts in their own fields. The fourth edition includes chapters on electronic contracting; liability of online intermediaries; outsourcing of IT; database rights and employment rights. The existing chapters have themselves been substantially revised to cover the latest developments in this fast growing area of the law.
