About this Unit
The legal consequences of the widespread use of computers are examined. Computerised transactions are analysed from technological and legal perspectives in order to determine and differentiate features distinct from other transactional forms. Matters including the abuse of computers, the privacy of computerised data, and electronic banking are critically analysed to reveal a variety of issues that are legally significant.
