The author discusses the Canadian jurisprudence involving the application, or potential application, of the CISG.  He concludes that the Canadian courts are beginning to implement the CISG, but that there is still a tendency to apply domestic law alongside, or even in preference to, the international sales law, even when this is not warranted.

Šī pētījuma mērķis ir analizēt ANO Konvencijas par starptautiskajiem preču pirkuma-pārdevuma līgumiem (The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, turpmāk tekstā – CISG vai Konvencija) piemērošanu Latvijas Republikā un vērtēt, vai un kā Latvijas tiesās tiek ievērotas Konvencijas 7. panta pirmās daļas prasības: tās piemērošanā ņemt vērā Konvencijas starptautisko raksturu un nepieciešamību veicināt tās piemērošanas vienveidību. Pētījumā analizēti vairāki desmiti anonimizētu tiesu lēmumu, kas pieņemti laika posmā no 2013. gada septembra līdz 2019. gada janvārim. Šķīrējtiesas lēmumi ir izslēgti no šī pētījuma galvenokārt to konfidenciālā rakstura dēļ. Pētījums veikts teorētiski, novērtējot un salīdzinot tiesas lēmumu atbilstību CISG noteiktajiem mērķiem un ietvertajām prasībām, ņemot vērā arī tiesību zinātnieku viedokļus attiecīgajā jautājumā. Pētījumā tika atklāts, ka tiesas, kaut arī dažkārt atzīst CISG piemērojamību, tomēr salīdzinoši bieži papildus Konvencijas normām piemēro arī attiecīgās attiecības regulējošus nacionālos tiesību aktus vai pat tikai nacionālo tiesību aktus, ignorējot Konvenciju. Lai arī publiski pieejamie anonimizētie spriedumi nepilnīgi atspoguļo Konvencijas piemērošanu, tomēr ar to pietiek, lai secinātu, ka Latvijas tiesu nolēmumos konstatējams t. s. homeward trends. Noslēgumā autore norāda uz iespējamiem risinājumiem homeward trenda mazināšanai. The objectives of this study are to focus on the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) case law of the Republic of Latvia; to determine whether and how the mandate has been given in Article 7(1) of CISG, consider its international character and need to promote uniformity in its application is observed in Latvian courts. The author examines and analyses court decisions related to applicability of the CISG in Latvia in the period from September, 2013 to January, 2019. The author notes that arbitration decisions are excluded from this study due to their mostly confidential nature. The study has been performed in a purely theoretical manner assessing and comparing the compliance of judicial decisions with the objectives of the CISG; however, the views of academics and legal scientists have been taken into consideration. The study reveals that courts, although sometimes recognise the CISG applicability, use domestic principles in determining the outcome rather than make decisions based on CISG. Therefore, it identifies that Latvian courts are prone to the so-called homeward trend. The article concludes with the author discussing and suggesting possible solutions in order to minimise the homeward trend.

Analytical Approaches

Purpose The aims and objectives of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) have been defeated by the intrusion of domestic laws of different contracting states in the interpretation of the provisions of this Convention. One of the most abused channels of this un-uniform interpretation is through art 4 of the CISG, which excludes the matters of validity and property from the Convention’s jurisdiction. This paper, therefore, aims to critically analyze the dangers of unsystematic reliance on the domestic laws in the interpretation of art 4 of the CISG on matters involving transnational validity and property. Design/methodology/approach The paper will use doctrinal methodology with critical and analytical approaches. The paper will incisively study the doctrines, theories and principles of law associated with validity of commercial contracts and the implications of exclusion of the doctrine of “validity” under the CISG. Findings The findings and contribution to knowledge will be by way of canvassing for a uniform transnational validity doctrine that will streamline and position the CISG to serve as a uniform international commercial convention. Originality/value This paper adopted a conceptual approach. Even though the paper ventilated the views of many writers on the issue of application of the doctrine of validity under the CISG, the paper, however, carved its own niche by making original recommendations on how to create a uniform validity jurisprudence under the CISG.

The Right

Section 7.4 of the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC) is concerned with remedy of damages. It covers the right to recover damages in the event of non-performance as well as the measure of damages, particularly the use of foreseeability as a limiting factor on the recoverability of damages. A notable feature of Section 7.4 is that the entitlement to recover damages is not linked to any notion of fault, nor to any system of notification of the defaulting party. Instead, the right arises on non-performance by the other party to the contract unless the non-performance is excused. The articles in Section 7.4 build upon, and in places develop, the rules to be found in the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
