Article 1

UNCITRAL Digest cases plus added cases

There are many Article 1 cases – almost every CISG case is in a certain sense an Article 1 case. There are so many Article 1 cases, one needs an intelligent guide to annotations of the cases. The UNCITRAL Digest provides such a guide. Except for the last two subject categories in the following outline, only the cases cited in the UNCITRAL Digest for Article 1 are listed below. They are presented chronologically in the subject sequence indicated with citations linked to Internet presentations of the full texts of the cases. Full-text English translations are provided to the extent indicated below.
