About the Book
This brand new casebook combines both cases and problems, allowing the professor to use case analysis pedagogy, a problems approach, or a combination of the two. The cases are thoughtfully selected and edited with a skilled hand. Professor Hull includes ample explanatory material in the text, as well as numerous short problems that can be read and understood within a brief period of time. Many of the problems on international sales law refer the reader to international collections of materials on the Internet. The book presents topics in the order in which a lawyer is likely to encounter them in practice: The dual coverage of international and domestic sales and the codes and practices that govern them makes this book ideally suited for teachers who want to cover global issues as they relate to sales transactions. The careful selection and editing of materials assure that the book can be used by anyone teaching a standard sales course, whether they want full coverage of international sales or only a cursory mention.
- Is the transaction one for the sale of goods?
- Is the governing law the UCC, the CISG or some other body of law?
- Has a contract been formed?
- What are the terms of the contract?
- Has the contract been performed? Excuse?
- If not and no excuse, what are the injured party's options?
Additionally Professor Hull addresses the various third parties involved in sales transactions and the law governing their obligations. These materials expose the student to both letter of credit law and the law governing carriers of goods.
