CBFL Seminar - Crypto litigation: how the law must (and will!) adapt
Total Registrations: 44
Description
ABOUT THE EVENT
Nik will discuss:
- how common law causes of action, which depend on subjective factors such as knowledge or reliance, need to be adapted for smart legal contract
- how non-contractual tortious and equitable causes of action are engaged in the context of DLTs
- the extent to which crypto is "property"
The seminar will be of interest to all those who are litigating crypto, smart contracts and DLTs, and also those who are advising on novel crypto/DLT structures and who engage in regulation in the crypto/DLT space.
