International Sales Law cover

This book assesses the state of international sales law and the provisions of the CISG.

Provides a selective analysis of the provisions of the CISG that have been applied in a 'critical mass' of court and arbitral decisions. The book, assessing the state of international sales law, is timely given the maturing state of CISG jurisprudence. Will be of interest to practitioners and scholars alike.This book is the product of extended research by five scholars working in the area of private international law. It provides a comprehensive review and analysis of the jurisprudence surrounding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). As of 1st January 2004, 62 countries have adopted the CISG as their countries' international sales law. Since the introduction of the CISG fifteen years ago, a critical mass of interpretive jurisprudence has developed, and, given its importance now as the world's preeminent sales law, the authors believed that a fresh analysis of the evolving case and arbitral law was now needed. The analysis in the book is undertaken at two levels - the practical interpretation of the CISG and the theoretical limits of interpretation of supranational conventions.
