Avtalsrätten och digitaliseringen

Flodgren, Boel LU (2026) p.67-97
Abstract (Swedish)
This contribution has its focus on how Swedish Contract Law has met - and absorbed - digitalisation. The examination of a handful of court cases - mainly from the Swedish Supreme Court and sometimes implying rather inventive solutions - lead to the conclusion that the Courts' way to solve the contract law problems created by digitalisation shows that general Contract Law (with its most important source dating back to 1915, i.e. the Act (1915:218) on Contracts and other Legal Acts of Private Law, the so called Contracts Act) has been capable of adjusting to the new digital reality without any major amendments needed.
