The Law of Damages in International Sales : The CISG and Other International Instruments (Second edition)

‘Saidov has produced a detailed and highly readable text that considers in turn the methods of limiting damages, the determination of loss and the calculation of damages.

It will doubtless become a first point of reference for academics and practitioners alike.’Martin J Doris, Edinburgh Law ReviewThe second edition of this internationally acclaimed book explores damages for breach of an international sales contract, one of the most important and frequently invoked remedies.

The focus is on the international contract law instruments such as the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts and the Principles of European Contract Law.

The book draws on the experience of some major legal systems and engages with legal scholarship on the international instruments and on contract damages, providing the most comprehensive, in-depth and thorough examination of damages under the instruments to date.

The second edition is updated, reflecting the latest developments in legal thinking on contract damages.

It incorporates around 60 new cases and now covers more than 370 cases decided by courts and arbitration tribunals from around the world.

The new edition is substantially revised, including new commentary on damages for a documentary breach.

Truly international in spirit, this book is analytically rigorous and practically oriented, offering distinctive analyses of, and solutions to, some of the most challenging problems surrounding contract damages.
