Summary
There is no general jurisdiction formula which would be equally suitable for all nations. the issues of jurisdiction are faced by all countries and ways of solving them are different. The Internet has changed the quantity of problem, not quality. However, many scholars throw themselves into one’s work with intent to propose sui generis jurisdiction principle for the cases related to the Internet. The “Zippo test” and the “targeting test” are suggested as well as the “minimum contacts test”, the “effects test”, the “stream of commerce test”, the “country of destination (origin) test” are adjusted. The paper establishes the point of view that no special tests are required. The localisation method of causer activities and acts effects is proposed. Despite of importance of asserting fair jurisdiction effective solution of the litigants’ rights protection is lying in applying technologies of video and audio transfer and person’s identification. Such technologies ensure the participation of distant parties.
