This course aims to introduce and examine the need for an international contract law and the extent this has been achieved by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the Interpretation Sale of Goods 1980 (CISG).  The interpretation, gap filling, formation of contract, obligations of the parties, remedies for breach of contract, unwinding of contracts and limitation of actions will be considered. The advantages and disadvantages of CISG when compared with the English law of contract will be identified.  In addition to CISG the UNIDROIT Principles on International Commercial Contracts (UPICC) and other forms of internationalisation of contract law will be considered.
