Question
In such a flat environment, disputes will have to be resolved by new rules of the game. For, the existing legal principles are predicated on the theory of territorial supremacy of the nation states and the laws are essentially territorial in their application.This will give way to the denationalisation of justice. Irrespective of nationality or location, participants in the web-enabled global playing field will opt to be governed by a new set of rules, contractually accepted by them, and not their national laws. ______________
Options:
A .  The authority of law will shift from sovereignty of nation states to consensual submission to rules evolved contractually by the participants
B .  This will give rise to more and more people exercising the option to choose their own dispute settlement forum
C .  This, in turn, may have interesting implications for dispute settlement.
D .  For example, the process itself may take the form of parties sitting in different jurisdictions submitting themselves to the authority of a judicial forum located somewhere else -- all brought together on a real time basis through the process of tele-immersion, which will give the illusion of all the parties being present in the same place.
Answer: Option B
:
B
Consider the last line of the paragraph, "Irrespective of nationality or location, participants in the web-enabled global playing field will opt to be governed by a new set of rules, contractually accepted by them, and not their national laws.” The chosen option must be in synchronized logically with this line. Option (a) goes too far beyond the scope of the passage by talking about national sovereignty and is easily eliminated. Option (c) is a likely answer. Option (d) tries to explain through the help of an example but out of all these, option (b) seems to be the best answer as it clearly underlines the fundamental reason for people not wanting to be governed by their national when in a web-enabled global playing field.
