Description
Summary:"Written for the novice who may be encountering the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) for the first time or for the seasoned lawyer who is looking for a 'refresher course, ' this practical guide will help practitioners decipher and understand the complexities of this area of law. The authors conducted extensive research, analyzing all of the U.S. cases that have been decided under the CISG, as well as many decisions of international tribunals, as they crafted this valuable, user-friendly guide. Each chapter closes by posing questions built on basic facts in a hypothetical and directs you to portions of the chapter that address each question. The hypothetical is based on two leading CISG cases, as well as facts from a dispute under the UCC. In addition, this guide includes much of the text of the CISG as well as information on: the basics of the CISG, including how CISG concepts might affect a typical international business transaction; the use of common law to interpret the CISG; the purpose of the CISG and basic analysis of its application; opting out of the CISG; contract formation; interpretation of the convention; seller's basic obligations; obligations of the buyer; remedies; and more!"--Unedited summary from book cover
