Abstract

Understanding the CISG, currently in its sixth (worldwide) edition, covers the full range of primary as well as secondary sources relating to the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), including succinct reports of the latest decisions, arbitral awards and scholarly opinions, as well as additional concrete illustrations to help explain and clarify key CISG rules. The 1980 CISG Convention regulates the rights of buyers and sellers in international sales. The Convention is the first sales-law treaty to gain recognition and approval globally, and the impressive list of more than ninety Contracting States accounts for more than three-fourths of all world trade.This exceptional guide to the CISG sheds light on the following key topic areas: determining when the CISG applies; freedom of contract, opting out; interpretation of CISG treaty and CISG contracts; formation, validity, defenses to enforcement; obligations of the parties; remedies for breach; liability exemptions, hardship; and disclaimers, agreed remedies.This book, being a compact guide, will aid lawyers and law students, in all parts of the world, not least in the Contracting States where the CISG is now in effect, who need to understand international sales law, sales contracts and sales contract disputes
