Electronic contracts and torts in the UK and the UAE private international law
by Abdullah Nawafleh
International Journal of Private Law (IJPL), Vol. 8, No. 3/4, 2017

Abstract: This paper explores the current legislation on private international law in the UK and the UAE in relation to electronic contracts and torts. It highlights issues responsible for deepening the uncertainty and confusion surrounding contracts and torts performed by electronic means - issues that remain unaddressed in UAE legislation. In particular, the paper addresses the absence of adequate provision for choice of law and jurisdiction in the environment of electronic consumer contract and torts. The UAE could address these issues by learning from the experience of the UK when making reforms and instigating future legislation. The paper concludes that, with regard to electronic consumer contracts, the UK provides superior legislation to that of the UAE.
