The Law Times recently published an article by Andrew Ottaway on the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (the “CISG”).
The article includes:
- a discussion of the recent case of Solea International BVBA v. Bassett & Walker International Inc., 2018 ONSC 4261 (CanLII), in which the Ontario Court applied the CISG;
- a discussion of the near total obscurity of the CISG in Ontario;
- examples of the notable differences between the CISG and the Ontario common law / Sale of Goods Act.
The article can be read in its entirety here.
