Description and Table of Contents

Description

The Scandinavian states, and more than 40 other countries accounting for two-thirds of all world trade, have ratified the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). By comparison and contrast to domestic law, the author explains the CISG in terms familiar to Scandinavian jurists. Because the CISG treaty demands an international interpretation, the author also draws upon a broad base of CISG decisions, arbitral awards and doctrine from around the world. Concrete examples are provided throughout.
