Schlechtriem & Schwenzer: Commentary on the UN Convention on the International Sale of Goods 5th ed (CISG)

Edited by: Ingeborg Schwenzer, Ulrich B. Schroeter

2020 marked the 40th anniversary of the CISG, which now has over 90 Contracting States. Significantly more international case law applying the CISG has become available since the last edition in 2016. This timely new edition considers these new cases and other important developments and literature, continuing the meticulous detail and authority of previous editions, with several article-by-article chapters completely rewritten.

The 5th edition includes two new thematic chapters: CISG and Data Trading, addressing the applicability of the CISG to contracts for the sale of data, making this the first Commentary to cover "digital" trade under the CISG; and INCOTERMS and the CISG, providing accessible overviews of all INCOTERMS 2020 and their interaction with the CISG's provisions.

Since the first edition in 1998, the Commentary has become an invaluable source for the comprehension and discussion of the Convention, frequently cited by legal writers, tribunals and courts worldwide. Written by an international team of contributors, it combines judicial and scholarly views from numerous jurisdictions.

Contents: Sphere of Application and General Provisions; Formation of the Contract; Sale of Goods (Obligations of Seller and Buyer, Passing of Risk); Final Provisions; Commentary on the Limitation Period Convention; INCOTERMS 2020; UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts 2016.
