The Convention is the first sales law treaty to win acceptance on a worldwide scale, and the impressive list of nearly one hundred Contracting States accounts for more than three-fourths of all world trade.\u003c\/p\u003e The importance of the CISG in the international arena is underlined by thousands of reported decisions where the CISG has been held to apply, thus evidencing the conduct of countless international traders who - by default or by express choice - regularly subject their sales contracts to the Convention regime. The CISG treaty demands an international interpretation, and this extensively updated Sixth Edition draws upon the full range of primary as well as secondary sources of CISG law, including clear and concise reports of the latest decisions, arbitral awards and scholarly opinion. Numerous concrete examples are provided throughout. With this book as their guide, lawyers and students who need to understand international sales law will confidently navigate key topic areas such as these:  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003edetermining when the CISG applies; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003efreedom of contract, opting out; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003einterpretation of CISG treaty and CISG contracts; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eformation, validity, defenses to enforcement; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eobligations of the parties; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eremedies for breach; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eliability exemptions, hardship; and \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edisclaimers, agreed remedies. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Lookofsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 940354192X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789403541921\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kluwer Law International\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Joseph Lookofsky","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44131101573375,"sku":"9789403541921","price":142.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f9ce7290-1620-4773-8dc5-3943dfc270d4.jpg?v=1687473015","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/understanding-the-cisg-joseph-lookofsky-9789403541921","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
