Electronic Transactions In Algerian Commercial Law: Reality And Prospects

Abstract

The world has witnessed a great development in the field of information and communication technologies, most notably the Internet, which has changed the forms of communication between people, thus transcending the concepts of time and place. Thanks to its increasingly advanced features, it has enabled individuals to communicate with each other in different regions of the world at the same time or at different times, which has enabled them to transmit information and news, exchange ideas and experiences, as well as display goods and services and stimulate commercial exchanges, which has led to the spread of a new type of commercial transactions, which is what is known today as e-commerce.

Technological and technical development and the emergence of the Internet had an impact on amending the legal rules governing various legal transactions between individuals, in order to expedite their conclusion and implementation. With the emergence of the electronic revolution and its impact on legislators in domestic law and international law, what is called electronic transactions appeared in private law as a contrast to classical and traditional transactions.
