Contracts for the International Sale of Goods: a Multidisciplinary Perspective
2019-7-31P. Sooksripaisarnkit | S. R. Garimella
- On the 30th anniversary of the implementation of the CISG, the title provides value added content for students and practitioners alike considering CISG and its intersection with public domestic and international law.
- Unique and jurisdictionally relevant thought-leadership content – presents national perspectives.
- Provides fresh critiques on core principles as well as forecasting on potential areas for reform.
- Multi-country author team providing perspectives from across diverse global jurisdictions as well as contributions from members of the Permanent Court of Arbitration (The Hague) and The Secretariat of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL).
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) came into force internationally on 1 January, 1988. 2018 marked the 30th anniversary of its coming into force. So far, CISG has been favourably received by the international community as it helps remove legal barriers for international trade and diminishes uncertainties caused by the private international law system and facilitates contract negotiations in international transactions.
Three fundamental issues are addressed by the CISG:
- the formation of a contract;
- the obligations of the seller; and
- the remedies available to the buyer, and the obligations of the buyer and the remedies available to the seller.
As we celebrate over three decades of this unique experiment at unifying and harmonising the law on international sale contracts and count the increasing membership of the international convention, it is also time to revisit a few specific issues that have arisen from the application of the convention.

Exclusion Clauses and Unfair Contract Terms 13th Edition
2022-12-13
Exclusion Clauses and Unfair Contract Terms examines, in a detailed, practical, and incisive manner, this important area of contract law. It provides guidance to the practitioner on drafting and using exclusion clauses effectively within the formative phase of a contract. Additionally, it offers commentary on the possibility of challenging an exclusion clause. The text deals with exclusion clauses and unfair contract terms in the context of both commercial and consumer contracts, considering the legal tests which are applied to determine whether the exclusion clause has been successfully incorporated, how it should be interpreted, and the extent to which it might be invalidated at Common Law and under statute.
Key features:
Considers the ways in which exclusion clauses are controlled by the judiciary and regulated by legislation
Examines unlawful, void and ineffective exclusion clauses
Explains in a straightforward and practical manner how to draft exclusion clauses that are lawful, valid and effective
Deals with exclusion clauses and unfair contract terms in the context of both commercial and consumer contracts
Provides wholesale review of the recent case law
Analyses the courts’ interpretation of the meaning of “written standard terms” under the Unfair Contract terms Act.
Discusses how the courts are adjusting the process of construing exclusion clauses so as to harmonise this topic with the general principles of interpreting written contracts.
Considers in detail the impact of the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
New to this edition:
This title has been fully revised and updated by Professor Neil Andrews to take account of important case law developments of the last five years.
New Chapter 2, concerned with exclusion clauses which are intended to protect third parties. (under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or by use of a “Himalaya” clause).
Chapter 3 fully revised to consider recent case law reflecting current approach to interpreting exclusion clauses
New Chapter 4 which examines the important topic of liability for misrepresentation and exclusion clauses.
Chapter 9 is another new chapter dealing with liquidated damages clauses. Such a clause simultaneously fixes the minimum and maximum level of compensation. Where the clause prescribes a level of liability which is much less than the innocent party’s actual loss, the clause operates functionally to restrict liability. This aspect has been noted by Lords Leggatt and Burrows in Triple Point Technology Inc v PTT Public Co Ltd (2021) (at [74], “such a clause limits the contractor’s exposure to liability of an otherwise unknown and open-ended kind”).

Estoppel by Conduct and Election 3rd Edition
2023-6-30Keane AC
Estoppel by Conduct and Election, originally written by the Honourable K.R. Handley, has been comprehensively reviewed and updated in this third edition by the Honourable Patrick Keane.
The book examines estoppel in the context of commercial transactions and property dealings. It examines election in relation to commercial dealings. It provides a comprehensive but accessible exposition of general principles including a discussion of the particular relationships in which these principles have been applied and developed by the courts.
With the concerns of practising lawyers who advise upon and litigate issues of estoppel in mind, the general principles are stated and illustrated in their application by reference to leading decisions of the higher courts of the Commonwealth of Nations. Where steps in the judicial development remain controversial in point of authority, the controversy is identified and explicated by an in-depth examination of the leading cases.
Key features:
Covers the four categories of estoppel: estoppel by representation, estoppel by convention, proprietary estoppel, and promissory estoppel placing their development in their historical context.
Examines the various relationships in which estoppels may often arise in practice: eg principal and agent, landlord and tenant, bailor and bailee, licensee of intellectual property and bank and customer.
Examines the juridical differences between representation and promise, causation and the relevance of knowledge of rights as distinct from facts.
Examines the practical operation of estoppel in commercial transactions involving companies, insurance and insolvency.
Examines the intersection of estoppel and statute law.
Examines quasi-estoppel and equitable defences including the issue of consent to breach of trust.
Addresses practical matters of pleading and practice that arise in the course of litigating issues of estoppel, and explains how to deploy estoppel as a defence to a claim.
New to this third edition:
There are significant updates on proprietary estoppel relating to property dealings affecting family members, particularly as to the requirement of reasonable reliance and the appropriate measure of pecuniary relief where preclusive effect cannot be given to the estoppel.
There is a significant update in relation to estoppel by convention and its relationship to the other categories of estoppel.
There are significant updates in respect of the requirements for a binding election and the relationship and election.
In relation to the controversial aspects of the law left open by ultimate appellate courts, the current course of development is marked by references to recent decisions of intermediate appellate courts.
