An Economic Assessment of UCITA
Hahn, Robert W. & Layne-Farrar, Anne
Abstract
The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act ("UCITA") is a model contract law for computer products. This note examines the potential advantages and disadvantages of adopting the UCITA and discusses its effects on consumer transactions. Benefits include reducing costs and providing a consistent standard of law. Hahn and Layne-Farrar conclude that the prospective benefits of passage of the UCITA outweigh any potential burdens.
