Critical Acclaim
‘Few of us think twice about buying something online, indeed many of us prefer, or even demand it – but few of us think deeply about the legal infrastructure required to make this convenience a reality. In this work Lodder & Murray have collected leading experts in e-commerce and created a systematic review of the fundamental EU regulation. This collection is a must read for anyone serious about online trade, cyberlawyers, and students of business and law – in any jurisdiction.’
