Regional Model Policies and Regulations on Electronic Transactions

The HIPCAR Project resulted in ‘Regional Model Policies and Regulations’. For most Caribbean States with recent legislation, the Electronic Transactions Act (and hence Intermediary Liability) generally resembles this model legislation. The provisions on Intermediary Liability are contained in PART IV (SS26-28) of the model legislative text on Electronic Transactions. In general, intermediary liability provisions are based on the mere conduit principle.
