The CISG and Its Impact on National Legal Systems

The CISG and Its Impact on National Legal Systems

Franco Ferrari
0/5 ( ratings)
Being 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 is considered to be the most successful convention promoting international trade. According to many commentators, this success is due to the fact that, amongst others, the Convention does not directly impact 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 the domestic legal system. In particular, the book examines the Convention's impact on legal education, on the practice of law, as well as on the style of court decisions.
