Contracts in English: An introductory guide to understanding, using and developing 'Anglo-American' style contracts. 3rd ed.
Stuart G. Bugg,The book serves as a general introduction into the common law approach to contract law including its application in England and the United States jurisdictions. In doing so, it serves to highlight the major areas of difference between the common law and civil law systems. Language: Issues related to contract drafting and development are often answered in practice by simply using foreign law contract templates. However, this approach can cause great confusion. Thus, for example, the term, "force majeure" is often regarded as being the direct equivalent of "höhere Gewalt" although the basic principles behind the two legal institutions may be very different in the respective legal systems. This book offers the opportunity to examine such concepts and thereby allows for not only an improved understanding of English language contracts but also better drafting skills in Englsh. Contents - What is a "Contract"? - Contract Formation - Consideration - Drafting and Interpretation - Liability - Penalties, Liquidated Damages - Jurisdiction and Applicable Law - Cross System Contracts - Problems with Translations - Warranties and Guarantees - Good Faith - Precontractual Liability - Template Boilerplates & Contracts - Cross-System Contracts - Common Law v. Civil Law NEU: - Contractual Estoppel - Brexit - Liability Management Vorteile auf einen Blick - General overview of the main contract types in common law - Clear guidelines for drafting - Support in avoiding typical mistakes and using "false friends" - Explanations of the main developments in case law authorities Zielgruppe The book is intended for lawyers, those legally-trained as well as for lay people who come into contact with and need to use contracts in a commercial setting. Because of the comparision of German and English legal terminology it would also be very useful as a guide for specialist legal translators.

UN Law on International Sales: The UN Convention on the International Sale of of Goods
This book is dedicated to Professor Schlechtriem and his tremendous life time work on the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and all past, present, and future participants of the Willem C Vis Moot for whom hopefully the book will be of some use. To have been asked to adopt Professor Peter Schlechtriem’s German text book Internationales UN-Kaufrecht (4 ed, Mohr Siebeck, Tübingen, 2007) for the English speaking student, academic, and practitioner and to work with Professor Schlechtriem on this edition has been a great honour. Unfortunately this book has been longer in the making than originally planned and more unfortunately still was not finished in time for Professor Schlechtriem to see its publishing. The aims of this book are more modest than other compendious treatments of the CISG. The main aim above all others has been to facilitate discussion on the use and application of the provisions of the CISG. As the CISG itself was the outcome of nearly a decade of debate between nations polarised in ideology, the importance of continuing discussion cannot be understated. This is especially true in regard to common law countries like Canada, Australia, and New Zealand which have all ratified the CISG many years ago but where its use and jurisprudence are rather underdeveloped.

Uniform Law for International Sales under the 1980 United Nations Convention. 4th ed.
John Honnold (Author),This Fourth Edition retains the original's incisive article-by-article commentary, as well as its insistence on how the parties' duties and the corresponding remedies need to work together ('like scissor-blades, ' to quote Professor Honnold's vivid simile) and the many concrete examples that illustrate and test the Convention's response to problems that arise in international trade. It deals definitively with the crucial aspects of sales contracts, including the following, taking fully into account the myriad variations among distinct legal systems: delivery of the goods and handing over of documents; conformity of the goods and third party claims; remedies for breach of contract by the seller; payment of the price; taking delivery; remedies for breach of contract by the buyer; anticipatory breach and instalment contracts; damages; interest; exemptions; effects of avoidance; and preservation of the goods conclusion ( formation) of contracts.

International Court of Justice: Process, Practice And Procedure First Edition
D. W. Bowett (Editor),The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has a dual role: to settle legal disputes between States (contentious cases) and to give advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by authorized UN organs and specialized agencies. The process is governed by the UN Charter, the Statute of the Court, the Rules of Court, and Practice Directions. Process and Jurisdiction Parties: Only States may be parties to contentious cases. International organizations can provide information but cannot bring a case or be a formal party. Acceptance of Jurisdiction: The ICJ is only competent to hear a dispute if the States involved have accepted its jurisdiction. This can occur through: A special agreement for a specific dispute. A jurisdictional clause in a treaty. Reciprocal declarations accepting the Court's jurisdiction as compulsory. Advisory Opinions: These are not binding but carry significant legal and moral weight. They are requested by UN organs (like the General Assembly or Security Council) or specialized agencies on legal questions.
