If one had a website (e-commerce) business idea which was based on the similar principles of another website business doing the same thing, can one go ahead and set up a business and nit worry about any legalities? Obvisously a differently designed website but doing the very same as the rival business site.

I don't see an issue. For example Tesco sell groceries online, Supervalu sell the exact same goods online, they are competing with each other, neither one of them owns the right to exclusively sell goods on the internet.

If you're selling third party products and not stealing anything the other company has copyrighted, then welcome to capitalism.

Google passing off, very unlikely to be that though.
