This book deals with international sales of goods and covers contracts governed by English law and contracts governed by the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods. It deals with contract issues as well as with property matters and most notably addresses those issues arising out of the use of documents of title, such as marine bills of lading. In addition to the rights and duties of seller and buyer, there is substantial material on bankers' documentary letters of credit. The book not only includes commentary on decided cases, but also with standard form contracts which represent evolving trade practice. It aims to be an authoritative work and to offer a thorough and detailed analysis of extensive case law. The text also aims to give the reader a contextual understanding of the trading world in which international sales occur. New to this edition is commentary on the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 as well as discussions on conflict of laws, the construction of commercial contracts and electronic documentation. The documentary letters of credit and the UN Convention on the International Sale of Goods are given extensive treatment in this edition.
