Legal Implications of the Millenium Bug - Legal 1999 (Hardcover)

In the event that damage is caused as a result of the Year 2000
problem, who will be responsible for compensating the victims of
such damage? Should the developers, vendors or licensors of
non-compliant software be held liable if their products do not
continue to function correctly through the change in the
millennium? Should those who provide "fixes" to the Bug which do
not work properly be accountable for damage caused? Do end-users
have a duty to ensure that their software is Year 2000 compliant?
These questions, among others, will not be answered fully until the
courts have had an opportunity to rule upon disputes which will no
doubt arise. Other matters to be considered include the type of
agreement that has been entered into between the parties, which
rules will therefore apply and what defences, if any, may be
available to the defendant. Insurance is also a big issue. Many
insurance companies are stating that damage resulting from the
Millennium Bug will not be covered by existing policies, and
defences such as force majeure and act of God have been raised.
What will happen when these issues come to litigation remains to be
seen. This special issue of the "Comparative Law Yearbook of
International Business" discusses the legal implications of the
Millennium Bug in various countries. It describes the way in which
agreements relating to software are viewed by different
jurisdictions and the possible attribution of liability for damage
caused by the Bug.
