International Sale of Goods Law

This book provides an analytical study of the law and practice of the international sale of goods through two leading international sales law regimes: English sales law and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Djakhongir Saidov evaluates them side by side, interconnecting their experiences against a variety of trade sectors and contracts.Saidov systematically examines global case law, revealing the richness of commercial and legal landscapes to provide a balanced reflection on the diversity of trade sectors. Across the chapters he assesses different types of sale contracts, including those used in the commodities trade, long-term sale contracts, contracts of sale of manufactured goods and sale contracts embedded in supply chains. The book concludes that no single sales law is equally well suited to all contracts, sectors and commercial contexts, unless specialist sub-sets within each sales law were to be developed for each sector.A thorough yet accessible account, International Sale of Goods Law is an essential resource for scholars and students of contract law, international commercial and sales law and comparative law. It will also benefit legal and commercial practitioners when considering which law best suits any given contract or transaction.
