The Fax As Valid Evidence In Argentine Law, Felipe Eduardo Zabalza, Leandro Javier Caputo

Felipe Eduardo Zabalza

Under Argentine law, the facsimile transmission (fax) is not acceptable under certain circumstances. A recent decision in “Flowtex France S.R.L. v. Flowtex Servicios Urbanos S.A.”, handed down by the National Court of Appeals on Commercial Matters, Chamber A, stated that “a simple photocopy of a fax is not enough proof of the existence of a loan contract”.

As background to this matter, the Argentine court ruled in an international case regarding a loan made by a French company to an Argentine company, with particular consideration of the facsimile as valid evidence in commercial proceedings.


La Buena Fe En La Negociación De Los Contratos: Apuntes Comparatísticos Sobre El Artículo 1362 Del Código Civil Peruano Y Su Presunto Papel Como Fundamento De La Responsabilidad Precontractual (2004), Leysser L. Leon Jan 2007

La Buena Fe En La Negociación De Los Contratos: Apuntes Comparatísticos Sobre El Artículo 1362 Del Código Civil Peruano Y Su Presunto Papel Como Fundamento De La Responsabilidad Precontractual (2004), Leysser L. Leon

En este artículo, se efectúa un análisis histórico y comparativo de la responsabilidad civil por daños ocasionados durante los tratos previos al contrato.

A propósito, se demuestra, con los mismos instrumentos metodológicos, por qué las cláusulas normativas generales (Generalklauseln) son inapropiadas en ordenamientos jurídicos como el peruano, y por qué son aplicables a esta hipótesis de ilícito civil las reglas de la responsabilidad aquiliana o extracontractual (artículo 1969º del Código Civil peruano).

Survey Of The Law Of Cyberspace: Electronic Contracting Cases 2006-2007, Juliet M. Moringiello, William L. Reynolds

In this annual survey, we discuss the electronic contracting cases decided between July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007. In the article, we discuss issues involving contract formation, procedural unconscionability, the scope of UETA and E-SIGN, and contracts formed by automated agents. We conclude that whatever doctrinal doubt judges and scholars may once have had about applying standard contract law to electronic transactions, those doubts have now been largely resolved, and that the decisions involving electronic contracts are following the general law of contracts pretty closely.
