Description

CISG Basics: A Guide to International Sales Law Candace M Zierdt ISBN 9781634255042

To promote fairness and uniformity in international trade, the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) was established. Designed for both newcomers encountering the CISG for the first time and experienced practitioners seeking a practical refresher, this guide offers a clear and accessible approach to understanding the complexities of this important area of law. The authors conducted extensive research, analyzing more than 150 U.S. court decisions interpreting the CISG, along with numerous rulings from international tribunals, to create a comprehensive yet user-friendly resource.

Each chapter concludes with a series of questions based on a fictional hypothetical scenario and directs readers to the relevant sections addressing each issue. While the hypothetical is not drawn from a single case, it is informed by two leading CISG decisions and incorporates factual elements from a dispute arising under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC).

This guide also covers a wide range of key topics, including:

  • The fundamentals of the CISG and how its principles arise in typical international business transactions

  • The role of common law in interpreting the CISG

  • The types of sales covered and the international nature of qualifying transactions

  • The purpose of the CISG and a foundational framework for its application

  • Opting out of the CISG

  • Contract formation under the Convention

  • Interpretation of the CISG

  • The seller’s core obligations

  • The buyer’s corresponding obligations

  • And more
