This course focuses on the legal challenges which may arise in connection with a contract of sale of goods when the buyer and the seller of the goods are each located in different legal systems. The course considers the definition and sources of international sale of goods law and the legal issues arising for the buyer and for the seller in an international sale of goods transaction. The course examines the issues arising in relation to transactions to which the CISG (Vienna Sales Convention) may apply and contrast the CISG responses with the position under the UK's Sale of Goods Act 1979. The course also considers aspects of carriage of the goods from seller to buyer concerning bills of lading and Incoterms®. In addition, the course focuses on dispute resolution as well as private international law issues in relation to international sales contracts.
