Bibliografía - Novedad Editorial


Acaba de aparecer la obra "Conflict of Laws and the Internet", escrita por Pedro A. de Miguel y publicada por la editorial Edward Elgar.

The ubiquity of the Internet contrasts with the territorial nature of national legal orders. This insightful book provides a detailed practical analysis of jurisdiction, choice of law and recognition and enforcement of judgments, examining online activities in areas where private legal relationships are most affected by the Internet. Offering rigorous and systematic coverage of EU Law in this dynamic field, consideration is given to information society services, data protection, defamation, copyright, trademarks, unfair competition and online contracts.
Key features include:
• comprehensive analysis of the complex conflict of laws issues that arise in connection with Internet activities
• discussion on the jurisdiction of national courts and the determination of applicable law
• a European perspective on the relationship between Internet Law and Private International Law (PIL)
• consideration of the cross-border effects of judgments in all major fields of PIL affected by the Internet.
