Download or read book The CISG and its Impact on National Legal Systems written by Franco Ferrari and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2009-04-27 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In force in 70 countries around the world and covering more than two thirds of world trade, the 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is considered to be the most successful convention promoting international trade. According to many commentators, this success is due, among others, to the fact that the Convention does not directly impact on the domestic law of the various legal systems, as it applies only to international - as opposed to purely domestic - contracts. The Convention, in other words, does not impose changes in the domestic law, which makes it easier for States to adopt the Convention. This does not mean, however, that the Convention does not have any impact on the domestic law at all. This book analyzes - through 24 country reports as well as a general report submitted to the 1st Intermediate Congress of the International Academy of Comparative Law held in November 2008 in Mexico City - to what extent the Convention de facto influences domestic legal systems. In particular, the book examines the Convention's impact on the practice of law, the style of court decisions as well as the domestic legislation in the area of contract law.

Download or read book English Sales Law Vs Vienna Convention On CISG written by Dr. V.V.L.N. Sastry and published by Idea Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-04 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research provides an analysis of the comparison between the English sales law and the Vienna Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). The two laws have different features that explain the preference of commercial merchants towards the use of the English sales law. It is in this context, a secondary study subjected to narrative review into, how do the features of the English sales law compare with the features of the CISG Act, and what competitive advantages and disadvantages do the English sales law and the CISG Act present over each other; and what features distinguish English Sales Law from CISG to make international businesspersons prefer operating under the English sales law to operating under the CISG, will help understand the intricacies that make English sales law a preferred choice. The ambiguity of the CISG is one of the factors that reduces its attractiveness. Uncertainty in the interpretation of CISG is one of the main reasons as to why it is unattractive in facilitating international commercial transactions. In some instances, the courts may issue contradictory interpretations of the law. In addition, CISG is a fragmentary law as opposed to English sales law, which is a comprehensive body of law. The paper also provides a recommendation on how to tackle some of the limitations inherent in CISG. Lastly, the findings of the study aid in improving the understanding of how best businessmen can make use of and work within the boundaries of the legal English Sales Law as well as of the CISG with an aim to bring about growth in businesses.
