if they do business in the UK (which they do), they are subject to UK laws. Quite simple, no?

- drdaeman 13y agoCan an UK citizen sue an US citizen if the latter broke former's window? Not sure, but guess they can. If that's true, then UK citizens should be able to use US company (Google). I'm afraid the rulings may be somehow problematic to enforce, though. But I suspect all things change because there's Google UK Ltd.
- coolnow 13y agoI don't understand what you're getting at. If a US citizen broke my window (i live in the UK), i'd report it to the police and the criminal would be subject to UK law at all times while here (unless he has diplomatic immunity or something). What does that have to do anything with your 2nd point? Do you mean "sue", or do you really mean "use" like you wrote? If you meant sue, then of course we can, Google has a presence in the UK and thus is subject to UK law (not saying all of Google might be subject to UK law, but at least its UK arm).
- drdaeman 13y agoMy bad, I mistyped that word. Yes, I meant "sue", not "use".
