Understanding the CISG

Thousands of CISG national court judgments and international arbitral awards have been reported. This compact Convention guide takes account of many of these precedents (listed by origin and date in Appendix III), as well as the increasingly abundant CISG literature (a Table of Authorities, cited in short form in footnotes, is included as Appendix IV). In this sixth edition of Understanding, numerous additional concrete illustrations help explain and clarify key CISG rules. Although CISG case law confirms that the Convention is most often interpreted and applied in a harmonious fashion, some CISG rules have generated disagreement. This edition of Understanding continues to account for such anomalies, particularly insofar as they impact merchants (and their lawyers) in the real CISG world.
