Abstract
Software Agents is a relatively new phenomenon. The first jurisdiction to recognize the legal impact of "software Agents" was the USA through the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act 1999. This paper analyses the legal ability of software agents to form contracts under Australia law but in do so also includes how other jurisdictions have attended to this mechanism.
