Details

Formerly known as Electronic Commerce and Internet Law in Canada, the second edition of this book won the 2013 Walter Owen Book Prize – and this new title is sure to garner praise of the same magnitude. Written by leading experts in the field, Digital Commerce in Canada provides an in-depth look at digital transactions, and in particular the contractual nature of the relationships that form the basis of those transactions. The book also provides extensive consideration of private sector data protection law and its application.

Rather than a treatise on Internet law, Digital Commerce in Canada examines the commercial framework that is developing in the context of digital transactions, including the important areas of electronic contracts, consumer protection, and data protection.

The fully updated content in this latest edition features new and revised chapters dedicated to:

Smart contracts and blockchain – readers can gain a deeper understanding of the increasingly prevalent technology
Privacy and data protection in the private sector – a focus on the digital, online and mobile environments which are of growing concern in the digital realm
Content regulation – one of the areas with the greatest number of legal challenges as new communications clash with established norms concerning expression
Jurisdiction in cyberspace – a discussion of the state’s authority to prescribe law as it is generally limited to the political boundaries of each state, featuring an analysis of the Facebook/Google Supreme Court of Canada case
