Details

This is the first edition of LexisNexis Annotated Statutes of Singapore - Electronic Transactions Act. This book provides commentary on the new Electronic Transactions Act (recently re-enacted in July 2010), with a look at the legal provisions facilitating electronic contracting and governing the use of electronic transactions in Singapore 

The commentary includes all significant Singapore cases, and references to the United Nations Convention on the Use of Electronic Communications in International Contracts (from which many provisions in the new Electronic Transactions Act were drawn upon). 

Legal practitioners will find this commentary useful in search for clear answers to issues concerning various aspects of electronic transactions in Singapore.
