| Content | This block course provides an overview of International Sales Law. The main focus lies on the UN Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG), with occasional comparative references to national laws as well as international sets of rules where it is of interest. By participating actively, the students have the opportunity to expand their knowledge in this internationally very important field of law. On the basis of a case book, questions as to the scope of application of the CISG, the formation of contract, the sellers and the buyers respective duties and remedies, damages, and the winding-up of the contract will be discussed. |
| Learning objectives | The students are familiar with current fundamental issues in international sales law; they acquire knowledge of uniform sales law and may draw comparisons to selective national sales law provisions. In addition, students have the possibility to read and speak English in a legal context. |
