- Abstract
- The recent explosion of Internet technology has helped propel the growth of
electronic commerce or electronic transactions. It is expected that electronic
transactions will quickly replace the various existing forms and methods of
transactions. Against this backdrop the Korean Electronic Transaction Act
(KETA) was enacted on February 8th, 1999 and is being enforced since July
1st 1999, with a view to promote electronic transactions and to clarify the
legal relations of electronic transactions. The provisions set out in the KETA
are based largely on the UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Commerce
adopted by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law. The
main contents of the Act include 1) legal effect, validity or enforceability of
electronic data messages(the term eletronic documents as used in the Act)
and digital signatures, 2) dispatch and receipt of electronic data messages, 3)
protection of personal information and 4) consumer protection.
While Korea is relatively ahead of other countries in terms of the early
legislation of the Electronic Transaction Act, the Act itself is left with many
shortfalls. Enacted without sufficient review of its relevant provisions, in
particular those related to the private law, the KETA lends itself to a whole
variety of different interpretations. In recognition of such problems, active
efforts have been made in the year 2001 to revise the KETA and the Korean
Digital Signature Act for the purpose of building a legal system more
conducive to the growth of Information and Technology industry.
