Selected Chinese Cases on the UN Sales Convention (CISG) Vol. 1

Meer over het boek

This book focuses on Chinese cases on the CISG decided by Chinese courts of all levels, mainly from 1990 to 2005. During this period, the number of cases grew gradually. The total number of cases remained low, the reasons of which might be the following: parties were not familiar with the CISG hence decided to opt out of it; the case collection and report systems in China at that time were not as developed as now rendering many cases inaccessible. This book deals with the cases in the early days of the development of the CISG in China. These cases reflect how People’s Court of all levels started to deal with various issues arising from the CISG and will help understand whether and how the People’s Courts change their approaches to the interpretation and application of the CISG in the future.
