This question delves into the complexities of assigning liability in the context of smart contracts, self-executing agreements built on blockchain technology. Determining who bears the legal responsibility when a smart contract doesn't fulfill its intended function as programmed. The smart contracts can contain code errors, bugs and vulnerabilities. There can be unforeseen circumstances, unexpected events or data when running the code. The code's programming might affect the contract's execution and subsequent legal considerations. Finding who is liable can be challenging due to the absence of a central authority figure involved in its execution.
