Impossibility And Frustration In Sales Contracts, Kiyoshi Igarashi, Luvern V. Rieke
Impossibility And Frustration In Sales Contracts, Kiyoshi Igarashi, Luvern V. Rieke
Washington Law Review
Legal principles governing sales under Japanese law, a civil rather than common law system, are at some significant points different from the law of the United States.
