Overview

This thorough and detailed Research Handbook explores the complexity of the governance of sales contracts in the modern world. It considers what is, and what ought to be, the role of traditional sales law in light of the growing diversity of commercial, trade and transactional contexts in which such contracts are made and performed. Offering an international and comparative perspective, leading experts in the field examine many topical aspects of sales law and practice. These include digital technologies, long-term contracts, global supply chains and trade in commodities. Chapters also investigate the diversity of sources that govern sales contracts today, particularly those sources that emanate from the industry and commercial players, such as standard form contracts, rules of trade associations, trade usages and trade terms. Through this critical and highly analytical examination, this Research Handbook ultimately demonstrates that the sources of governance found within the industrial sector are as important as traditional sales law, if not more so, in terms of their role in governing sales contracts in contemporary society. This timely and engaging Research Handbook will prove an essential read for students, scholars and legal practitioners with an interest in international commercial sales and contract law. Practitioners working in international trade across industry and the commercial sector will also benefit from its practical approach. Contributors include: R. Aikens, M. Bridge, F. Cafaggi, J. Coetzee, C.P. Gillette, M. Goldby, S. Green, M. Hammerson, C. Hare, E. Richardson, D. Saidov, M. Schillig, U.G. Schroeter, L. Spagnolo, A. Tettenborn, P. Wallace

Reviews

'Djakhongir Saidov's book on International and Comparative Sale of Goods Law is, indeed, both a Handbook and an outstanding research work. Saidov has accomplished the task of combining enriching contributions from high-profile academics and practitioners to provide a sound understanding of key aspects of the law governing the cross-border sale of goods and address the complex question he has identified. At the same time, the Handbook, as research work, offers stimulating lines of thought to those readers with a deeper background in the topic.' -- Miquel Mirambell Fargas, European Review of Contract Law
