This collection of essays assesses how contract laws throughout the Asia-Pacific region are facing challenges and transforming in response to the digital world.
Certainly, the Asia-Pacific is a truly diverse region, but this book establishes the common grounds across jurisdictions, in terms of contract laws and the challenges posed by the digital world. Looking at contract law more generally - formation, terms and mitigating factors - in jurisdictions such as Australia, Malaysia, Japan, and Bangladesh, it offers rigorous doctrinal analysis of the laws in the region. Recognised experts share key insights which will influence the future of private law in the area.
