 Great Britain: Consultation Document on the Electronic Commerce Directive: The Liability of Hyperlinkers, Location Tool Services and Content Aggregators

In June 2005 the DTI published a consultation document seeking the views of UK business, consumers and other organisations on questions relating to whether the UK should extend the limitations of liability to providers of hyperlinks, location tool and content aggregation services.

"Summary of government response:
1.6 Although there have been good arguments made both for and against the granting of an extension of the limitations on liability to providers of hyperlinks, location tool services and content aggregation services, the DTI, mindful of its obligation for evidence based-regulations, has reached the conclusion that there is currently insufficient evidence to justify any extension to these limitations.
1.7 The second review of the Electronic Commerce Directive by the European Commission is due in 2007 and the DTI will encourage the Commission to take on board the important issues raised during this consultation."
