Legal and contractual implications of the E-Work and E-Business

This paper summarizes the results and findings of two

consecutive legal research projects and launches a third legal research

project. The first, Victori@ was developed under the ADAPT initiative,

and the second, the eLPS project (eLegal Problems Survey) is a joint

initiative of the Universidade Moderna in Setubal and the University of

Salford, in the UK. The first project produced a legal guide for the e-

Worker, eEmployer and e-Businessman in Portugal and the second

project aims to deepen some of the basic concepts introduced in the

Victory@ project and to analyse some of its findings in specific contexts.

The findings of both projects are the basis for a new legal research project

the eLegal-China, aiming to survey the Chinese legal framework for e-

Work and e-Business.
