Intermediaries in Commercial Law
Hart Publishing (Verlag)
978-1-5099-4909-0 (ISBN)
Intermediaries tend to be considered within discrete silos of the law. But by focussing upon a particular, narrow area of law, lessons are not learned from analogous situations. This book takes a broader approach, and looks across the traditional boundaries of private law in order to gain a proper assessment of the role played by intermediaries.
A wide range of jurisdictions and topical issues are discussed in order to illuminate the role intermediaries play in commercial law. For example, the continued growth of electronic commerce requires consideration of the role of websites and other platforms as intermediaries. And developments in artificial intelligence raise the prospect of intermediaries being non-human actors. All these issues are subject to rigorous analysis by the expert contributors to this book.
Paul S Davies is Professor of Commercial Law at UCL Faculty of Laws, UK. Tan Cheng-Han SC is Dean and Chair Professor of Commercial Law at City University of Hong Kong.
