You are cordially invited to the webinar of the research project ‘Digital Assets in Scots Private Law: Innovating for the Future’ funded by the Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) and led by the University of Aberdeen with collaborators from the University of Edinburgh, University of Dundee, and CMS.
Digital assets (eg Bitcoin), underpinned by distributed ledger or similar technology (including blockchain), have grown globally in significance and become increasingly important for individuals and businesses. The novel and fast-evolving nature of digital assets brings a number of challenges in applying traditional legal concepts to these assets and accommodating them under existing legal rules and regimes.
Focusing on electronic trade documents and cryptoassets, this project has examined to what extent digital assets are already accommodated within Scots private law, which areas of law require reform, and how law reforms concerning digital assets can be best advanced in Scotland.
In this webinar, the project leads will present the project findings.
Speakers:
Professor Burcu Yüksel Ripley (Principal Investigator)
Dr Alisdair MacPherson (Co-Investigator)
Ms Luci Carey (Co-Investigator)
This project is generously funded by the Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE)
