The 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) regulates the rights of buyers and sellers in international sales. The Convention is the first sales law treaty to win acceptance on a worldwide scale, and the impressive list of nearly one hundred Contracting States accounts for more than three-fourths of all world trade. The importance of the CISG in the international arena is underlined by thousands of reported decisions where the CISG has been held to apply, thus evidencing the conduct of countless international traders who – by default or by express choice – regularly subject their sales contracts to the Convention regime. The CISG treaty demands an international interpretation, and this extensively updated Sixth Edition draws upon the full range of primary as well as secondary sources of CISG law, including clear and concise reports of the latest decisions, arbitral awards and scholarly opinion. Numerous concrete examples are provided throughout. With this book as their guide, lawyers and students who need to understand international sales law will confidently navigate key topic areas such as these: • determining when the CISG applies; • freedom of contract, opting out; • interpretation of CISG treaty and CISG contracts; • formation, validity, defenses to enforcement; • obligations of the parties; • remedies for breach; • liability exemptions, hardship; and • disclaimers, agreed remedies.

As of 10 January 2015 the new 'recast' of the Brussels I Regulation on Jurisdiction and Judgments (2012) enters into effect, and the important changes in the recast themselves necessitate the publication of this Second Edition. Incorporated in this volume, is a number of important decisions which the Court of Justice of the European Union has had occasion to render as regards to the proper interpretation of key rule-sets. “Now in a Second Edition comprising the Brussels I Regulation Recast, as well as other key EU legislation and case law, this wonderfully compact book remains a “must” for every student interested in private international law. It brings together principles of jurisdiction, choice of law, and recognition of judgments and shows the interrelationship of the rules and their effect on cases in the European Union. For those in Europe, it offers a complete and systematic overview of material that everyone interested in transnational litigation must know. For those in the United States, it continues to provide comprehensive and accessible accounts of the European private international law system that lawyers in the United States are encountering more and more in their own cases. Rich in information and well-organized in structure, this book … is a gem.” -Professor Linda Silberman-Martin Lipton Professor of Law New York University School of LawIndholdsoversigtPreface to the Second Edition (2015)Preface to the First Edition (2009)Chapter 1.

Køb omhandler dansk indenlandsk købsret, dvs. køb af løsøre i henhold til Købeloven af 1906 med senere ændringer: KBL. De første ni kapitler omfatter KBL-reglerne for civilkøb og køb mellem handlende, hvorimod forbrugerkøbets særregler drøftes i et kapitel for sig.I denne 4. udgave har forfatterne taget højde for den på retsområdet vigtigste lovgivning, retspraksis og litteratur, der er kommet siden udgivelse af bogens tredje udgave (2008).Det er fortsat tanken at give en introduktion til de køberetlige regler, der samtidig fungerer som en introduktion til nogle mere almindelige, obligationsretlige regler set i lyset af internationale påvirkninger.

Thousands of CISG national court judgments and international arbitral awardshave been reported. This compact Convention guide takes account of many ofthese precedents (listed by origin and date in Appendix III), as well as theincreasingly abundant CISG literature (a Table of Authorities, cited in short formin footnotes, is included as Appendix IV). In this sixth edition of Understanding,numerous additional concrete illustrations help explain and clarify key CISGrules.Although CISG case law confirms that the Convention is most often interpretedand applied in a harmonious fashion, some CISG rules have generated disagreement.This edition of Understanding continues to account for such anomalies,particularly insofar as they impact merchants (and their lawyers) in the real CISGworld.

Studieudgaven af bogen Køb (Dansk indenlandsk købsret) er en kortere version af det noget mere omfattende hovedværk. Studieudgaven er målrettet studerende på jurastudiet, der skal have en introduktion til de køberetlige regler og dermed også til de grundlæggende obligations-retlige regler set i lyset af internationale påvirkninger. I bogen gives en fremstilling af reglerne i Købeloven om kravene til parternes ydelser og reglerne om misligholdelse i handelskøb, civilkøb og forbrugerkøb. I sidstnævnte forbrugerretlige relation omfatter denne omarbejdede 3. udgave de omfattende KBL-ændringer, som med virkning fra 1. januar 2022 implementerer EU-varedirektivet: Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv (EU) 2019/771 af 20. maj 2019 om visse aspekter af aftaler om salg af varer; desuden EU-direktivet om levering af digitalt indhold og digitale tjenester: Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv (EU) 2019/770 af 20. maj 2019.

Transnational Litigation and Commercial Arbitration is a case-oriented study of the key rules and procedures that regulate the resolution of commercial disputes arising in a transnational context. The study explains and compares European and American rules of private international and procedural law. Each main case is introduced both by a paradigm model, emphasizing and simplifying the key operative facts, as well as by a doctrinal presentation of the main issues and sources of American, European, or international law concerned. The court decisions themselves are all extensively edited and annotated by the authors.This 4th Edition, which has been completely revised and updated, takes account of recent developments in American law, including recent Supreme Court decisions on the exercise of juridical jurisdiction, and European law, including the Brussels I Regulation recast, effective within the European Union as of 2015.Transnational Litigation and Commercial Arbitration is suitable for use in upper-level courses in American, European, and Comparative Law. It also serves as a useful reference for practitioners.About the Authors: Joseph Lookofsky is Professor Emeritus of Law at the University of Copenhagen.
