SummaryTable of Contents
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.
