Whereas the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) provides a comprehensive set of rules for international sales contracts, there are practical situations where recourse to provisions of national law is needed, such as filling gaps or addressing contractual provisions that refer to national law. This may, and very often does, result in conflicts where legal concepts, such as warranty or liability for damages, under the CISG and national law are not coherent.

We will discuss such situations using real-world examples and aim to develop a toolbox for resolving these conflicts of legal concepts. This session will present a case study and will be highly interactive.
