This new edition contains a fully updated collection of all the major transnational commercial law instruments relating to commercial contracts, interspersed with explanatory linking text indentifying key issues covered by the instruments.
This unique work provides an indispensible guide to the primary transnational commercial law instruments and brings together the major instruments in the field, dividing them into twelve groups: Treaty Law, Contracts, Electronic Commerce, International Sales, Agency and Distribution, International Credit Transfers and Bank Payment Undertakings, International Secured Transactions, Cross-Border Insolvency, Securities Settlement and Securities Collateral, Conflict of Laws, Civil Procedure, and Commercial Arbitration.
Each group of instruments is preceded by linking text which identifies the key instruments in each group, discusses their purposes and relationships, and explains the major provisions of each instrument.
In addition, each instrument is accompanied by a complete list of dates of signature and ratification by all contracting states, and is preceded by a table of contents for that instrument, for ease of navigation.
This fully-indexed work provides an indispensable guide for the practitioner or academic to the primary transnational commercial law instruments.
