International Sales Law Summary

International Sales Law: A Guide to the CISG by Christiana Fountoulakis

Written for international trade lawyers, practitioners and students from common and civil law countries, this casebook is an excellent starting point for learning about the CISG, providing an article-by-article analysis of the Convention. The commentary on each article is accompanied by extracts from cases and associated comparative materials, as well as references to important trade usages such as the INCOTERMS (R) 2010. The book features a selection of the most significant cases, each of which has been abridged to enable the reader to focus on its essential features and the relevant questions arising from it. The case extracts are accompanied by a comprehensive overview of parallel provisions in other international instruments, uniform projects and domestic laws. The analyses, cases, texts and questions are intended to aid readers in their comparative law and international sales law studies. They are designed to draw attention to the particular issues surrounding specific CISG provisions and to provoke careful consideration of possible solutions. The book is a reference work as well as an introduction to the individual problem areas. In particular, it acts as a preparatory work for the Willem C Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot. The inclusion of sample questions and answers also makes it particularly helpful for self-study purposes.

International Sales Law Reviews

...a very useful casebook for international trade lawyers, practitioners and students who can use it as a starting point for learning about the CISG as it contains an article-by-article analysis of the Convention. -- Christina Gavriilidou * Association for International Arbitration Newsletter, 'In Touch' *
The selection of material could not have been better. All of the major problems arising under the CISG are covered, and the reader is provided with illustrative and stimulating cases that explore the different approaches that could be taken...The strength of this book is clearly that of a student casebook for use in classes following the traditional teaching model of common law countries. It may also serve as an additional source of reference and further training for self-study purposes...It goes without saying that this book is a treasure trove for any teams of students taking part in the world famous Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot, providing them with excellent material for argument based on court interpretations of the CISG itself and comparative arguments with regard to national or other uniform law sources. -- Dennis Solomon * European Yearbook of International Economic Law 2014 *
...a very good guide for the study of the CISG by students, at a price they can afford (in softcover or as an e-book)...The authors have done a wonderful job in selecting the cases...the cases are heavily edited so that only the relevant parts are reproduced. This will save students a lot of time and allow them to focus on the relevant points...The questions addressed to students throughout the book are very helpful...this book makes a tremendous contribution to the teaching of the CISG and will be extremely helpful to both students and teachers. The authors should be commended for their contribution. -- Gary F. Bell * Singapore Journal of Legal Studies, July 2014 *
