English Law and the Vienna Convention on Sale of Goods’ Contracts: Specific Performance as a Remedy
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), also known as the Vienna Convention, was formulated to institute a synchronisation among diverse law systems. On the other hand, the English law/ the Sale of Goods Act 1979 tends to overlook this approach since its principles focus on common law rules. Among the primary aspects of both laws is specific performance. Comparing their positions on using specific performance as a remedy for breach of the contract shows both similarities and differences.
