The use of the CISG in domestic law

Abstract

The article gives an overview of the use of the CISG to aid the development of contract law in the major common law jurisdictions. The aim of the article is to explore whether there is cross-fertilization in regard to the use of the CISG - the idea being that the more the CISG is used in the domestic context to give content to domestic law the more familiar and comfortable courts and counsel get with it and might, therefore, ultimately apply the CISG more regularly in international sales.
