Legal and contractual implications of the e-Work and e-business: Legal research project

Abstract

This paper summarizes the results and findings of two consecutive legal research projects and launches a third legal research project. The first, Victori@ was developed under the ADAPT initiative, and the second, the eLPS project (eLegal Problems Survey) is a joint initiative of the Universidade Moderna in Setubal and the University of Salford, in the UK. The first project produced a legal guide for the e- Worker, eEmployer and e-Businessman in Portugal and the second project aims to deepen some of the basic concepts introduced in the Victory@ project and to analyse some of its findings in specific contexts. The findings of both projects are the basis for a new legal research project the eLegal-China, aiming to survey the Chinese legal framework for e- Work and e-Business.
