| Title | COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE APPLICABLE LEGAL PROTECTION FOR PURCHASERS ON THE INTERNET, IN EUROPE AND USA- LESSONS FOR NIGERIA |
| Summary | This thesis focuses on bringing out the benefits of e-commerce for purchasers; to highlight the challenges faced by purchasers in online transactions; and to discover how these issues are being tackled in Europe and USA, by comparing how both systems have protected their online consumers, in order to set an example and present a stepping stone for the Nigerian Legal system in its developmental journey in the E-Commerce world. This thesis elaborated the different approaches used by both the EU and US jurisdictions in protecting online purchasers in E-commerce and found out that the EU approach is more consumer-friendly. This thesis also discovered that in Nigeria there is no legislation on E-commerce protection or regulation, although there is a bill on cyber crime protection but it has not been passed into law. This paper therefore highlighted suggestions for Nigeria that will improve its e-commerce protection through providing infrastructure, repealing old laws and enacting new laws that will reflect the global trends of today. |
