RE: SF new column announcement: E-mail privacy in the workplace

["Craig Wright" <cwright () bdosyd com au>]

This is easy. This is commonly fixed by the general contractual terms
that most good lawyers will employ.

Terms may be expressly agreed into a contract. ANY contract. The of a
GOOD contract will include terms state the choice of terms , choice of
venue and the subject matter jurisdiction etc.

The contract can state the place and time of any action. If you do not
wish to have the Californian law apply, have the contract enforced in
Virginia.

A clause stating as an express term that "all disputes must be mediated
by a court appointed mediator under the laws and regulations of XXX"
means that this is going to be handled in XXX. Something such as "any
claim or dispute with [the firm] be commenced in XXX" is a common block
clause in nearly any contract.

So the signed document, being a contract, as it is well written as you
claim is NOT unclear. This is pure FUD. This is an express consent in
any form or method you care to review.

Of all the difficult issues with "Cyberlaw", why try to muddle the
issues with BS and FUD?!

Regards,
Craig
