Paper Abstract:
|
The rapid growth of electronic commerce has brought with it an increasing number of cross- border disputes. Some of the disputes concern subject matters unique to cyberspace. During the past years, disputes concerning copyright, e-contracts, and privacy have resulted in judicial decision. Court litigations are lengthy and expensive. If consumer confidence in e-commerce is to be realized, swift and inexpensive mechanisms must be effectively developed to resolve controversies that arise from Internet-based commerce. Online Arbitration is an efficient alternative for transacting over the Internet. The European Union has taken several initiatives to promote alternative dispute resolution. Community legislation and Recommendations have been adopted to regulate e-commerce transactions and out-of-court dispute settlements. However, online arbitration methods have raised complex legal issues with regards to its relationship with other community legislations. |
