Description

This book provides an analytical study of the law and practice of the international sale of goods through two leading international sales law regimes: English sales law and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Djakhongir Saidov evaluates them side by side, inter-connecting their experiences against a variety of trade sectors and contracts.

Key Features

• Systematically examines global case law, revealing the richness of commercial and legal landscapes
• Assesses different types of sale contracts, including commodities trade, long-term sale contracts, sales of manufactured goods and sale contracts embedded in supply chains
• Compares English sales law and the CISG side by side across trade sectors
• Concludes that no single sales law is equally well suited to all contracts, sectors and commercial contexts, unless specialist sub-sets were developed for each sector
