Sellers Escape Liability for Unforeseeable Damages in Global Trade
The article explores how damages for breaching a contract can be limited under international trade laws. The researchers focus on understanding whether sellers can avoid paying for unforeseen damages to buyers and third parties in global sales contracts. They specifically look at how the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) restricts liability for such consequential damages. By examining real-world cases and existing literature, the study concludes that parties are only responsible for damages they could have anticipated when they made the contract. This analysis aims to offer practical insights for legal researchers and professionals in international trade.
