ABSTRACT

So far, this book has attempted to discuss general principles of concern, that is, areas where a contribution to uniformity could be improved. This chapter will specifically investigate the impact of the CISG on the creation of domestic commercial laws. It will focus on two recent law reforms, namely UCC article 2 and the German law of obligations in the Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch). Both domestic laws are of importance because they are examples of how the CISG, which is recognised as the most successful unification of commercial law, assists domestic laws in their revision processes.
