The Effect of Block­chain Dis­pute Res­ol­u­tion Meth­ods on Conflict-of-Laws Rules and the Re­la­tion­ship with Lex Cryp­to­graph­ia

De­vel­op­ment sum­mary

Elçin Aktan’s art­icle, pub­lished in Türki­ye Baro­lar Birliği Dergisi on 3 Feb­ru­ary 2025, ad­dresses how blockchain-based dis­pute res­ol­u­tion meth­ods in­ter­act with in­ter­na­tion­al civil pro­ced­ure and conflict-of-laws rules. It con­siders the extent to which tra­di­tion­al jur­is­dic­tion and en­force­ment rules fit a de­cent­ral­ised system with an im­mut­able trans­ac­tion record, ex­am­ines online ar­bit­ra­tion, crowd­sourced dis­pute res­ol­u­tion and AI-assisted meth­ods through ex­amples, and dis­cusses these ap­proaches along­side the concept of lex cryp­to­graph­ia.
