“…Interestingly, the Jordanian Criminal Law is comparable to the French Penal Code of 1810. 2 The constitution of Jordan illustrates the country's ruling system; it entails a parliamentary with a hereditary monarchy whereby His Majesty the King leads the three divisions of the state which are the executive, legislative and judicial.…”

“…The use of traditional way is factored by the absence of rule and regulation related to problems of consumer, particularly those associated with the internet. 2 The traditional way is exemplified in the regular civil litigation method for paying off groups unfavourably affected by illegal conducts. This old method can be explained as multifarious, time-consuming and mostly high in cost, and this clearly does not encourage the protection of consumer, as consumers are generally imparted with only small portion of benefits and allowances.…”

Consumers typically look for quick and easy remedy in recompensing their disputes. In Jordan there is no tribunal for protecting consumers. Instead, the traditional route is used, involving the application of ordinary civil litigation mechanism in recompensing those adversely impacted by unjust conduct. The objective of this paper is to examine the available litigation mechanism in Jordan for such purpose. The traditional mechanism in Jordan appears to be complicated, time-consuming, and is usually costly, that the process of attaining remedy often costs more than the recovered amount after the resolution of the case. Hence, it does not promote consumer protection.

The birth of the internet has resulted in a rapid increase in online shopping activities. Despite the convenience of online shopping for sellers and buyers, various problems have emerged, harming consumers. Strong consumer protection is vital because goods traded online can not directly or physically be viewed or touched. The present study explored the legal provisions concerning refund or goods replacement within the online trade contract. Jordan currently lacks a law specifically for online trade, while e-commerce in Jordan is mainly governed by three laws, namely, the Jordan Civil Law 1976, Consumer Protection Law 2017, and Electronic Transactions Law 2015. E-commerce laws in the United Kingdom, France, Indonesia, and Malaysia were analyzed and compared with relevant Jordanian laws to examine the topics of refund and goods replacement in online trade contracts. Jordanian legal systems have been insufficient in guaranteeing consumers’ right to obtain refunds, goods, or services replacement from the provider or seller in online trade. Jordan thus needs to set up a special law on online trade that also legally covers matters of refunds and goods replacement.

E-commerce transactions are the more preferred commercial transactions today, rendering the conventional rules and norms of goods and services sale obsolete. The legal norms, statutes, or rules of commercial transactions today, should be upgraded. Online consumers need protection. Firstly, the Internet as commercial transactions medium needs legitimization. This study examined the aptness of Jordanian laws in protecting e-commerce consumers, considering that Jordan has no specific law to govern e-commerce. Legal provisions for contracts and e-commerce in Jordan are dispersed in some laws including the Jordanian Civil Law 1976, the Electronic Transactions Law 2015 and the Consumer Protection Law 2017. This study employed doctrinal method in its comparative analysis, with primary and secondary sources (statutes, cases, guidelines, textbooks, journal articles, online resources, websites, databases, etc.) as support. Results showed insufficient law governing e-commerce in Jordan. Hence, Jordan needs to establish a law that specifically regulates e-commerce, particularly in areas like e-store establishment, e-contract formation, goods return, money refund, handling of unfair e-commerce contract, and obligation violations.
