Bermuda bids to become beachhead for e-business; island's drive to serve as a hub for e-commerce is manifest in its Electronic Transactions Act
Article Abstract:
Bermuda's Electronic Transactions Act 1999(ETA) establishes legal principles for the conduct of electronic commerce and the processing of electronic transactions and shows the island's aim to become a hub for such commerce. The ETA, which borrows from different sources including the UN Commission on International Trade Law's Model Law on Electronic Commerce, gives a minister of telecommunications and electronic commerce authority to approve a code of conduct to be drawn up by the industry itself.
