Unilex International Case Law & Bibliography on the Unidroit Principles of International Commercial Contracts

My deep debt to you & your team for the help your magnificent work has given me in preparing the third edition of my book on CISG. Extract from a letter by John Honnold (author of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods) to Professor Michael Bonell Here is an information tool that reports quickly & dependably on the latest state of the law & relevant literature.... An indispensable tool for any international lawyer. Prof. Rolf Herber, Recht der internationalen Wirtschaft, 1995 The implementation of CISG by court decisions & scholarly discussion of its provisions is reported in an ingenious piece of software known as UNILEX. Prof. Joseph M. Perillo, Fordham Law Review, Vol. LXIII, No. 2 Today's international commercial law regime is firmly based on two complementary instruments: the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), which sets rules for sales contracts, & the more comprehensive UNIDROIT Principles, which also apply to more complex contracts such as those for services, construction, & investment. The UNIDROIT Principles have also proven their value in contract drafting & dispute resolution. This unmatched resource--available both in looseleaf format & (for the CISG) on CD-ROM--fulfills the need for a comprehensive guide on how both instruments are interpreted & applied in the various contracting states. It provides: . detailed abstracts of all cases decided under both instruments by courts & arbitral tribunals worldwide; . the full text of each decision in its original language (when available); . the complete texts of the CISG & the UNIDROIT Principles; . all reservations & declarations of CISG States Parties; . a bibliography for each instrument, listing all significant references both by category & by article; & . a subject index. In addition, the CD-ROM version features retrieval of all CISG cases not only chronologically & by country, but also through access to an analytical index composed of some 800 specific issues. Currently, UNILEX reports nearly 500 cases & includes nearly 2,000 bibliographical references--numbers that increase rapidly with each semi-annual update. No lawyer of business executive handling international sales, services, or construction contracts should be without it. The reporting system was originally conceived as a research project of the Centre for Comparative & Foreign Studies (a joint venture of the Italian National Research Council, the University of Rome, & the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law--UNIDROIT). UNILEX on CD-ROM (CISG only) is an extremely user-friendly database.Bonell, Michael J. is the author of 'Unilex International Case Law & Bibliography on the Unidroit Principles of International Commercial Contracts' with ISBN 9781571051356 and ISBN 157105135X.
