Study Notes

Data Protection and Cyber Regulation

  • Data protection is regulated by the PDPA.
  • Obligations of organizations include data lifecycle management.
  • Individuals have rights regarding their data.
  • Cybersecurity regulations are governed by the PDPA and Cybersecurity Act 2018
  • Laws regulating cybersecurity protect digital infrastructure from attacks.

Prevention of Online Threats and Falsehoods (POHA)

  • POHA regulates online speech.
  • POFMA (not tested) is related to online falsehoods.

Law and Technology

  • The field of law and technology is multifaceted
  • Law and technology issues need to be approached by considering the specific issue: is the problem with law or technology
  • Frank Easterbrook's Law of the Horse - is applicable for considering technology issues in law
  • Lessig's Counter-Response - offers a different perspective on the interplay of law and technology

Comparative Laws

  • General Features of the Civilian System
  • Civil law is codified, while common law relies on precedent.
  • Civil law systems have a formalized framework for contract law.
  • Key differences/ similarities between Common Law and Civilization
  • General principles of civil law are found in codes, and case law in the common law

Specific Principles of Civil Law(I): Unilaterally Binding Contracts

  • Most contracts are mutually binding (synallagmatic).
  • Gifts and mandates are unilaterally binding contracts

Specific Principles of Civil Law(II): Good Faith

  • Good faith is a prevalent principle of civil law, obliging parties to act in good faith.
  • The principle of good faith can influence legal relations in the context of contract law.
  • Consideration of good faith in dealing with contractual terms where there is a dispute.

Specific Principles of Civil Law(III): Enforced Performance

  • The promisee is in principle entitled to performance in specie (the exact performance of the contract).
  • Secondary remedies (damages) are available in the event of failure to perform.
  • Enforced performance is the general rule, and not an exception.
  • Situations where there may not be enforced performance (e.g impossible performance)

The Law of Delictual Liability (Torts equiv.)

  • French Tort Law – 3 elements
  • Fault → Damage → Causal link between fault and damage
  • Principle of non-concurrency for contractual and tortious liability are distinct
  • French law has a duty to rescue for specific acts, rather than for omissions
  • Tort law obliges the wrongdoer to compensate the damage.

(1)Introduction to the Field

  • The Big Question: is the issue with the law, the technology, or both?
  • Law and technology need to be considered as one entity.
  • Core concepts and framework to understand the field of Law and technology.
  • Key methods to understand and assess issues arising when law and technology meet.

Case Study 1: Automobiles

  • Historical development of automobile liability laws in developed jurisdictions.
  • Evolution of legal norms around cars and vehicles.

Case Study 2: Regulating the Early Internet

  • How the Internet works (basic overview of protocols, etc)
  • Values embedded in cyberspace and their implications for regulation
  • Use of codes as regulators for the purpose of understanding and managing use of technology

Case Study 3: Regulating the Early Internet (Part 2)

  • How the early internet operated.
  • The importance and implications of code as a defining element of the internet.
  • How internet technology developed.

Emerging Technologies and Law

  • Key principles
  • Different types of technologies regulated (e.g. digital platforms)
  • The legal and regulatory challenges posed by the development of these technologies.
