Synopsis

This second edition of Law of International Trade retains those features that have made it such a well received text. The text offers a unique approach to the subject, placing much emphasis on the link between theory and the pragmatics of international trade law. Specimen contractual clauses, forms and diagrams are used to demonstrate how the law works in practice. The legal complexities in cases and materials are examined in-depth to ensure that the text is not only a clear introduction to the subject but also an important treatise thereof. Once again, summaries of the more significant cases are distinctively set out in the text giving it an emphasis many basic texts omit. Where relevant, cases from the Commonwealth and other countries have been referred to. This international perspective is integrated throughout the text. This updated edition of Law of International Trade provides many new features including: * Additional footnotes and references for further reading. A compendious text on International Trade Law, making this a key source for academics and practical research in this area. * Incorporating elements of electronic commerce in international trade (including the UNCITRAL Model Law on E-Commerce, the EU Directive on E-Commerce, the UK Electronic Communications Act 2000 and the BOLERO Project) * New cases in Documentary Credit, Carriage of Goods, Private International Law, Cargo Insurance, International Sales and ADR * The new EC Council Regulation on Jurisdiction and the Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters plus other developments in Private International Law. * The new Civil Procedure rules.
