Buyer's Right of Avoidance Under the International Sales Law (Cisg)

This monograph is an opportunity to explore the legal rights of a buyer to avoid (terminate) a contract of sale of goods under the United Nations Convention on Contract for the International Sale of Goods. Avoidance of a contract is the most important remedial tool at the hands of a buyer in a contract of sale whose expectations from the contract has been fundamentally truncated by a breach committed by the other party (Seller). A contract of sale of goods should not go on willy-nilly; international commercial law justice will encourage a disgruntled buyer to terminate the contract while making other numerous incidental remedies also available. This work is therefore a detailed analysis of the steps provided under the international sales law (Article 49 CISG) for invoking this remedy of avoidance from the buyer?s perspective and recommendations for reforms.
