The commentary on each article is accompanied by extracts from cases and associated comparative materials, as well as references to important trade usages such as the INCOTERMS® 2020. The book features an updated selection of the most significant cases, each of which has been abridged to enable the reader to focus on its essential features and the relevant issues arising from it.
The case extracts are accompanied by a comprehensive overview of parallel provisions in other international instruments, uniform projects, and domestic laws. A companion website (bloomsbury.pub/international-sales-law) provides sample questions and answers, which students can use to test their knowledge.
