ABSTRACT

The form requirements of a State that has made a reservation within the meaning of Art. 96 CISG should not apply where the parties have chosen the law of a Contracting State that has not made a declaration under Art. 96 CISG. Since the choice of law of a Contracting State leads to the application of the CISG (see sub Art. 6 CISG), such cases are then governed by Art. 11 CISG.
