Buyers' Remedies in International Sales Law: A Comparative Study

An authoritative, in-depth examination of remedies in international sales of manufactured goods, this book provides a detailed analysis of the remedies available to a commercial buyer.

The book concentrates on four prominent legal regimes, namely the UK sales law, the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods 1980 (CISG), the American Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), and the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts 2016 (UPICC). It surveys the remedies available to commercial buyers in the event that a seller fails to fulfil the contractual obligations stipulated by an international sales transaction of manufactured goods. The remedies investigated are self-help remedies, including suspension of performance, rejection and termination; monetary remedies, including damages and price reduction; and performance remedies including specific performance.

Providing access to and analysis of cases and arbitral decisions from all over the world, the book scrutinises the strengths and weaknesses of buyers' remedies through comparative and normative examination.
