Article 16

UNCITRAL Digest cases plus added cases

UNCITRAL has identified relevant cases in Digests containing case annotations for each article of the CISG. For Art. 16, the UNCITRAL Digest cites three cases: one each from Austria, Germany and the United States.

Presented below is a composite list of Art. 16 cases reporting these UNCITRAL Digest cases and other Art. 16 cases. All cases are listed in chronological sequence, commencing with the most recent. Asterisks identify the UNCITRAL Digest cases. Cases are coded to the UNCITRAL Thesaurus.

English texts and full-text English translations of cases are provided as indicated. In most instances researchers can also access UNCITRAL abstracts and link to Unilex abstracts and full-text original-language case texts sourced from Internet websites and other data, including commentaries by scholars to the extent available.

There are scholars who believe that there are circumstances in which the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts may be used to interpret or supplement this Article of the CISG.
