Resumen de UN Convention on contracts for the international sale of goods (CISG): a commentary
Stefan Kröll, Loukas Mistelis, María del Pilar Perales Viscasillas
To make the commentary as user-friendly as possible the comments on each article follow the same structure. The first part (I) gives a short overview on the content of the article, its drafting history and its role in the context of the CISG where appropriate. The second part (II) contains the detailed commentary of the article while the third part (III) contains references to comparable rules in other legal instruments which may be useful in interpreting and applying the article There is wealth of resources relating to the CISG. We have made every effort to ensure that all major authorities are referred to, but in a fashion which keeps the book in a manageable size and points the user to readily available online resources. In particular: Often cited sources are listed in the abbreviated bibliography section and hence in the commentary only the names of the authors and short titles are listed in the footnotes; moreover, whenever articles are also available through the Pace University Albert H Kritzer CISG Database (www.cisg.law.pace.edu) we have indicated that through the following reference: (Pace) We do not use the full citation of judicial decisions or arbitration awards where there is a freely accessible online publication of the same: in such cases, we refer wherever appropriate to the case with the number provided by the CISG Online database maintained by the Global Sales Law project of the University of Basel (http://www.globalsaleslaw.org/index.cfm?pageID=28) and indicate if an English translation of the case exists on the Pace University Albert H Kritzer CISG Database (www.cisg.law.pace.edu) by the reference: (Pace). Full texts and English translations (typically through the Queen Mary Translation Programme) are readily available on these free access databases. As both of them are very user-friendly and cases can easily be retrieved by the date of the decisions, we have refrained from giving the exact web-address for every case.
