Electronic commerce has raised numerous legal questions in areas such as contract law (both business-to-business and business-to-consumers), trademark and copyright protection, torts, protection of personal data, law of competition, etc. Perhaps the most interesting question in this context is whether traditional legal rules are suitable for application on electronic trade or should they be replaced or complemented with new rules taking into account the new, electronic environment. As e-commerce is a relatively new and universal phenomenon, these novel problems are posed simultaneously in many individual countries. The emerging legisla- tion and case law should take into account the existing, albeit necessarily limited, experience of other jurisdictions. The international character of many electronic commercial transactions is another reason why legal practitioners are in great need of information about the relevant legal rules in other countries.
