- The most comprehensive work on international sales law and practice
- Contains full coverage of the relationship between international sales law and national laws
- Provides comparison between the laws of over sixty jurisdictions to assist with contract drafting and preparation for litigation
- Expert author team led by the editor of Schlechtriem & Schwenzer: Commentary on the CISG and supported by international legal researchers
- Includes commentary on a global scale providing a consistent and uniform approach to the interpretation of international sales law
Although the 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is one of the most successful international conventions to date, it remains the case that those involved in the international sale of goods must refer to a multitude of laws. Indeed the CISG itself does not cover all issues relating to international sales contracts, so it must necessarily be supplemented by domestic law. Global Sales and Contract Law provides a truly comparative analysis of domestic laws in over sixty countries so as to deliver a global view of domestic and international
sales law.
The book reports on the real practice of sales law, taking into account present day problems. Complex questions on the obligations under a sales contract, the ways in which these are established, as well as the remedies following the breach of obligations, are all discussed. By addressing regional uniform projects, like OHADA, and comparing differences in domestic legal approach where the CISG would not apply, the work goes beyond existing commentaries which tend to focus only on the CISG. The analysis has been based on an unprecedented survey drawn from the world's top fifty companies as well as international traders, lawyers advising international traders, arbitral institutions, arbitrators, and law schools.
This work encompasses
all aspects of a sale of goods transaction and takes a wide view of sale by including general contract law. The book gives practitioners invaluable insight into judicial trends and possible solutions in different legal systems, whether preparing for litigation or drafting an international contract. Global Sales and Contract Law is the most comprehensive and thorough compilation of legal analysis in the field of the sale of goods and is a reliable source for any practitioner dealing in international commerce.Readership: Solicitors and barristers advising on the law of international sales, commodities, and arbitration; judicial bodies (including national courts and arbitral tribunals); legislators and policy makers;
university libraries.
