Abstract

The world has experienced various global events impacting e-commerce. Epidemics, wars, and natural disasters like the COVID-19 pandemic and the Bab el-Mandeb crisis generally lead to a decline in commerce, but can sometimes boost e-commerce growth. These impacts create legal challenges that legislation must address, affecting the consistency of legal rulings. This necessitates flexible approaches to manage crises. The main question is how these events have influenced e-commerce and the resulting legal issues?
