Schwenzer I. Commentary on the UN Convention...International Sale of Goods 2022

Textbook in PDF format Six years have passed since the publication of the fourth edition of this Commentary. In the meantime, the Sales Convention (CISG) has celebrated its fortieth anniversary, the number of Contracting States has further increased to over ninety States on all continents, and—maybe most importantly—CISG practice has significantly expanded, with many new court cases and arbitral awards applying the Convention having been published in a broad range of jurisdictions. The Commentary’s present fifth edition maintains the book’s time-tested structure as an article-by-article commentary: each provision of the CISG and of the 1974 Limitation Convention is being commented on in turn, covering the provision’s drafting history, its current interpretation in international case law and legal writings, as well as the commen-tator’s view on issues that have and those that have not yet arisen in court and arbitration practice. Certain general questions that concern not only a single CISG provision but also a group of CISG provisions are dealt with in introductory chapters (‘Introduction to Articles...’). Among the commentators that have authored the various chapters, a few changes have occurred in the fifth edition: Pascal Hachem has now assumed sole responsi-bility for the commentary on Articles 1–7 and 10 CISG, and Ulrich G Schroeter has taken over and completely rewritten the commentary on Articles 89–101 CISG. All chapters of the Commentary have been thoroughly updated and extended to newly arisen issues by their respective authors. Furthermore, two entirely new chapters have been added to the Commentary cover-ing ‘CISG and Data Trading’ (written by Pascal Hachem) and ‘INCOTERMS and the CISG’ (written by Florian Mohs). A final change concerns the editorship of the Commentary: in the present edition, Ingeborg Schwenzer has been joined by Ulrich G Schroeter as co-editor. Editing and publishing a work as extensive as this one would not have been possible with-out the assistance of Professor Schroeter’s staff at the University of Basel. Sincere thanks for their excellent work and their dedication is therefore owed to Julian Juhasz, MLaw, who headed and coordinated the editing work, and to Sofia Bonetti, Linus Dethloff-Wieland, Peter Horstkotte, Evelyne Jöhri, Océane Kessler, Siddarth Kumar, Till Maier-Lohmann, and Elia Ruberti for taking care of the manuscripts and for carrying out the proofreading
