The Buyer's Remedies For Non-Conforming Goods

This study analyses the buyer's remedies for non-conforming goods
under a sales contract under English, German, French and Scandinavian
law. Moreover, the EC Consumer Sales Directive, the 1980 UN Convention
on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and the
Principles of European Contract Law (PECL) are included. The study
examines the most controversial issues and problems involved in the
establishment of an effective and fair remedial regime for
non-conforming goods. Should there be a certain hierarchy of remedies,
where some prevail over others? Who should be able to choose between the
remedies, the buyer or the seller, and should there be a right for the
seller to impose cure upon the buyer? Should certain remedies be
restricted where the lack of conformity is not sufficiently serious?
Another controversial issue is the question of whether, and if so, how
the buyer should be obliged to notify the seller, and within which time
limits he should be obliged to bring forward his claim. This is Volume 2
in the Series "Schriften zur Europäischen Rechtswissenschaft/European
Legal Studies/Etudes juridiques européenes".
