Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to note how in-line the laws of each country are with the current best recommendations. The focus will be on the UAE and the UK for the purpose of creating a contrast between countries which have different regulations in general and between contrasting countries.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper seeks to critically analyze the state of e-commerce contract laws in terms of what forms a part of the law normally and to what extent the similarities have been enacted in the international laws. A critical analysis of the information derived through the search was undertaken. This methodology was to ascertain the viability of the information in terms of its consistency with the contemporary laws in each country relating to e-commerce. Comparisons were made on topic-by-topic basis within the searches.

Findings

It was clear through the information reviewed from both the UAE and the UK that both countries’ laws are advanced in terms of being inclusive of the best common practices noted by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). This shows that both countries, through their vastly different legal structures, have implemented similar laws with regard to e-commerce.

Originality/value

This report is original in its value to e-commerce laws, as it is the first to consider how different countries e-commerce contract laws lineup to the OECD-recommended rules related to it. The value of this research is to show to what degree is there cohesion within the e-commerce laws on an international level.

Abstract

Purpose

This research aims to focus on what has happened in light of the Greece legal crisis in terms of international contracts and what legal situations have arisen.

Design/methodology/approach

This research focuses on what has happened in light of the Greek legal crisis in terms of international contracts and what legal situations have arisen. The overall situation in relation to international contracts and risk mitigation is discussed to analyze the efforts that have been made. The state of affairs in the country with regard to facilitating financial trade and enabling Greeks to send payments abroad or at the rate they need to is also explored.

Findings

The effects of financial crisis on international trade contracts as they relate to commercial businesses without taking into consideration the wider contractual obligations that Greece, as a country, have already defaulted on. The crux of the current crisis is the fact that Greece did not stick to the commitments it made to the European Union when it joined the eurozone and took on euro as their currency, replacing the drachma. It is important to understand that due to the scope of the economic crisis in the Greece, it is not simply the other contractual party’s creditworthiness and trustworthiness that are at issue, it is their ability to keep any promises in whatever climate arises in their country.

Research limitations/implications

The study is based on the financial crisis in Greek. Further research is needed to investigate the applicability of the findings in different contexts.

Originality/value

The study findings are believed to be valuable for international commercial contracts with regard to the Greek debt crisis in discussing the financial legal situation, facilitating trade and enabling Greeks to send payments abroad or at the rate they need. The study contributes to a better understanding of international commercial contract system.
