Professor Franco Ferrari, the Director of NYU School of Law’s Intesa Sanpaolo Center for Transnational Litigation, Arbitration, and Commercial Law, has just published a commentary on the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). The 740-page long article-by-article commentary, which Professor Ferrari authored together with German colleagues, is part of a volume dedicated to the German Commercial Code.
Professor Ferrari’s contribution focuses on the CISG’s “General Provisions” contained in its Part I (addressing the CISG’s interpretation and gap-filling, the interpretation of statements and other conduct, trade usages, form requirements), the provisions contained in Part II, titled “Formation of the contract” (focusing on the offer, its effectiveness and the possibility of its withdrawal, the revocability of the offer, the effects of the rejection of the offer, the acceptance and its effectiveness, the effects of an acceptance modifying the offer, the time for acceptance, the consequences of a late acceptance, the time of conclusion of the contract, the inclusion of standard contract forms, and the battle of forms), the CISG’s interest provision, and those contained in Part IV, dedicated to the “Final Provisions”. These provisions set forth, although not exhaustively, the commitments in international law that a State assumes when it becomes a Contracting State to the CISG.
