UK Civil Justice Council Recommends eBay-Style Settlement System
April 15, 2015
The European Union, the Netherlands and Canada were the first. Now the UK body responsible for overseeing and co-ordinating the modernisation of the civil justice system is recommending setting up an online dispute resolution service for small civil claims – i.e. an ‘eBay-style’ justice system. The wheels of justice tend to move slowly in all democracies. Many people are therefore now advocating the creation of a sort of Courts 2.0 system, online platforms set up to deal with low value civil...

April 5, 2015

So if there is a point of Singularity, by definition,...

Rival comparison-sites such as Nextag complain that Google lists their products far below Google Shopping results, where...
