Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Smart Contracts: Technological Business and Legal Perspectives by Edited by Dr Marcelo Corrales Compagnucci Edited by Professor Mark Fenwick Edited by Stefan Wrbka
This book brings together leading scholars and practitioners to examine the main features of smart contracts. It explores how this new technology interfaces with the goals and content of contract law introducing and evaluating several mechanisms to improve the ‘observability’ and reduce the costs of verifying contractual obligations and performance. The chapters map the new risks associated with smart contracts particularly for consumers and consider how they might be alleviated. The book also discusses the challenge of integrating data protection and privacy concerns into the design of these agreements and the broad range of legal knowledge and skills required.
