On May 29, 2000 the Mexican Government published several modifications to the Civil Code, the Civil Procedures Code, the Commerce Code and the Consumer Protection Law in order to properly protect any kind of electronic transaction.
Certainly, these modifications can not be considered as an E-commerce Law per se, as they were not gathered in a single Law, but they try to operate as if they were.
There are several interesting points defined in the modifications of the Laws and Codes mentioned above.
- First of all, these modifications do not have any compromise with a particular technology, as the modifications to the Civil Code mention that, referring to the acceptance and/or proposal of an offer "the rules must be applied to an offer made by telephone, or any other electronic or optical means or any other technology that allows the expression of the offer and the acceptance of the same in an expedite way".
