Contractual Excuse Under The Cisg: Impediment, Hardship, And The Excuse Doctrines, Larry A. Dimatteo
Pace International Law Review
This article will examine the law of excuse as espoused in the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). It will examine the relevant case law applying the doctrine of impediment found in CISG Article 79. The question posed in this analysis is whether the word “impediment” relates only to the occurrences of force majeure, impossibility and frustration of purpose events or if it also includes changed circumstances, impracticability and hardship events. For purposes of simplicity, the first set of excuse or exemption doctrines will be analyzed under the heading of “impossibility” and the second set will …

Dodging Windfalls: Damages Based On Market Price, Actual Loss, And Appropriate Awards, John Gotanda
John Y Gotanda
This article draws on the underlying policy of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) to demonstrate that Article 76’s market damages approach permits an aggrieved party in certain circumstances to recover damages in excess of the aggrieved party's actual loss for the breach of the underlying contract. While at first glance this result may appear to be at odds with the principles of full compensation and mitigation, in reality, it is not. It is consistent with the text of the CISG damages provisions. In addition, it effectuates the parties' allocation of risk in …
