contract in civil and commercial codes. International Journal of Cyber
Criminology.
Intro
In the article the study reviews Jordanian legislation, including the Electronic
Transactions Law No. 15 of 2015, and compares it to international standards.
The research focuses on the formation, validity, and consequences of
electronic contracts in civil and commercial law, examining both it’s progress
and shortcomings of the legal system.
Relevance to Social Science Principles
The study relates to social science principles as it examines how technology
influences legal systems, economic structures, and consumer protection
mechanisms. It also aligns with the principle that laws evolve in response to
specific societal needs. The study also highlights the intersection of law,
business, and technology, demonstrating the impact of digital trade on
traditional business practices, individual rights, and market behaviors
Research Questions and Hypotheses
The study investigates the legal framework governing electronic contracts in
Jordan, focusing on:
• How electronic contracts differ from traditional contracts under
Jordanian law.
• The primary limitations of Jordan’s Electronic Transactions Law
No. 15 of 2015.
• A comparative analysis of Jordan’s regulatory framework with
other countries in the region, such as the UAE.
The authors hypothesize that Jordanian laws are insufficient in
addressing electronic contract related issues, particularly concerning
consumer protection, cybersecurity, and fraud prevention
