Popis: The term “metaverse” refers to a virtual reality setting where users may engage in sustained and immersive interactions with other users and digital information. The metaverse offers new potential for entertainment, education, commerce, sociability, and creativity; therefore, it is anticipated to play a significant role in the future of the digital economy. However, the metaverse presents additional difficulties in resolving conflicts that can develop between its users, producers, and providers. Intellectual property rights, privacy, contract enforcement, fraud, harassment, and cybercrime are some of the concerns that may be raised in these conflicts. The existing legal system for settling these conflicts is disjointed and insufficient since it does not consider the metaverse’s unique qualities and complexity. This study investigates the present legal framework to provide fair and effective conflict resolution in the metaverse. It then establishes tenable fundamentals within the context of scientific and legal foundations. and propose a theoretical model named Hybrid Legal Framework for Metaverse Dispute Resolution (HLFMDR).
