Damages Under the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, Third Edition

Damages Under the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, Third Edition

New to this Edition of Damages Under the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods:

• includes a new chapter on penalty clauses, with a focus on how those terms should be interpreted in light of Cavendish Square Holding BV V Makdesi and Paccioco v Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd.
• includes more thorough discussion of anticipatory repudiation and good faith.
• covers the EU's efforts to harmonise contracts (CESL and CFR).

The sole work to address damages under the CISG continues to serve as the go-to resource for this subject in its third edition.

The book compares and contrasts the calculation of damages under civil and common law systems in accordance with the United Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, addressing international judicial and arbitral decisions and highlighting the distinctions between uniform international instruments and domestic laws (CISG).

The impact of recent cases in England (Cavendish Square Holding BV V Makdesi) and Australia (Paccioco v Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd) regarding the interpretation of penalty clauses and its connection to the CISG is examined in a new chapter on penalty clauses. Additional new content includes an expanded discussion of the good faith issue, fresh perspectives on attorney's fees, an analysis of states that have recently ratified the CISG, and a look at the developments in the EU in regard to the effort to enact a new, harmonised contract law.
