How Does the ‘Immutability’ of a Smart Contract Affect Legal Recourse?

Since an immutable smart contract cannot be changed after deployment, the code's execution is final and cannot be overturned by an external legal system. This makes traditional legal recourse difficult, as there is no human party to compel.

Any dispute resolution must be handled either through the contract's pre-programmed logic or through a decentralized arbitration mechanism, not a traditional court.
