Abstract

This paper examines in detail the application of the International Convention for the Sale of Goods (CISG) in the Australian context. The problem with an attempt to create a uniform set of rules is the fact that not all nations have developed the same level of sophistication in their international trade usage. Furthermore not all nations operate under the same or similar political system. Many writers in the early development of the CISG predicted that the loose terminology of the CISG will lead to interpretations of the CISG based on their own economic legal and political orientation. In the author's view this prediction does not appear to become true.
